Create admin account outside the UI

If you do not have access to an admin account through the application, you can create admin accounts for users from the Alteryx node using the webapp/bin/ensure-user command.

Without SSO

If Single Sign-On (SSO) is not enabled, use the following command:

<install_dir>/webapp/bin/ensure-user --admin "<FirstName LastName>" <e-mail> <password>

With SSO

If the enviroment uses SSO, the following command can create the admin user based on an Active Directory login:

<install_dir>/webapp/bin/ensure-user --admin "<FirstName LastName>" <e-mail> <password> <AD_LOGIN>

 where:

<AD_LOGIN> is the active directory login for the user.
