Provisioning a superuser

A clean installation of Open Organisatie has no existing data, it’s up to the service provider and/or the users to set up Open Organisatie to your liking.

To be able to do anything in the Open Organisatie admin interface, you need a user account with sufficient permissions, typically a superuser. Open Organisatie has a couple of mechanisms to create this superuser.

Creating a superuser manually

Superusers can be created through the Command Line Interface (CLI) built into Open Organisatie, for example:

python src/manage.py createinitialsuperuser \
    --username admin \
    --password admin \
    --email admin@gemeente.nl \
    --no-input

This will create the user if it does not exist yet. If the user already exists (based on username), nothing happens.

You can get detailed information by getting the built-in help:

python src/manage.py createinitialsuperuser --help
