Currently sets new users as viewer even though it has the npm console command does have an -a flag meaning it should create it as admin

Currently sets new users as **viewer** even though it has the _npm console_ command does have an **-a** flag meaning it should create it as admin

workaround

$ abra app run YOURDOMAIN db -- bash -c 'echo "UPDATE user_entity SET role = \"admin\" WHERE id = \"YOURID\";" | mysql -u root -p$(cat /run/secrets/db_root_password) tellaweb'

maybe it needs a double dash?

from this:

abra app run DOMAIN api /docker-entrypoint.sh npm run console users create -a EMAIL

to this:

abra app run DOMAIN api -- /docker-entrypoint.sh npm run console users create -a EMAIL

Hi! juan from tellaweb here :)

sadly it seems the -a option is not working, we just got some small funding for a couple of tellaweb features so i will try to sneak a fix of that in the next release.

In the meantime i think as a workaround you could try doing npm run console users toggle-role EMAIL for making the user admin after creating it.

Hope this helps 👍
