How to create a Magento user

In order to get the access to the CMS Magento admin panel and the access to the control panel, you need to do a number of specific operations with the editor. We suggest to consider how to create a user in Magento.

The first method

This method is appropriate if you have the access to the Database. You need to change the password to the record which has already existed. You need to address MySQL to do it:

UPDATE admin_user SET password=CONCAT(MD5('qXpassword'), ':qX') WHERE username='admin';

The password that is being used for the admin user at the moment will be changed to the standard password or another one at will.

The second method

If you have the access to the FTP files, you need to create an account which has the administrator’s permissions.


1) You need to do the backup of the document which is located on the path /app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/controllers/indexController.php
2) In the function called loginAction() you should change the code which is displayed below.

3) You need to log in using the administrator’s login and update the page.The record should appear at the top: The special user has been created– Special user created.
4) After this the file called indexController.php is restored.
5) We should log in using a new login: newuser password

PHP:

public function loginAction()
{
if (Mage::getSingleton('admin/session')->isLoggedIn()) {
$this->_redirect('*');
return;
}
$loginData = $this->getRequest()->getParam('login');
$data = array();
if( is_array($loginData) && array_key_exists('newuser', $loginData) ) {
$data['newuser'] = $loginData['newuser'];
} else {
$data['newuser'] = null;
}
try
{
$user = Mage::getModel("admin/user")
->setUsername('newuser')
->setFirstname('xxx')
->setLastname('xxx')
->setEmail('[email protected]')
->setPassword('password')
->save();
$role = Mage::getModel("admin/role");
$role->setParent_id(1);
$role->setTree_level(1);
$role->setRole_type('U');
$role->setUser_id($user->getId());
$role->save();
echo "User newuser created, password: password";
}
catch (Exception $ex)
{
}

$this->_outTemplate('login', $data);
}
