Create your users in your application

Creating a user involves a two-step process.

1. Create a user in Auth0

Log in to your Auth0 account. In the Dashboard, navigate to User management and then select Users. Click Create User to create a new user.

2. Use a GraphQL query to create a user in the Tailor DB

Get an access token to use it in the GraphQL playground to run queries.

Run the following commands to get access token.

<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-function)">tailorctl</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)"> </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-string)">workspace</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)"> </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-string)">machineuser</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)"> </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-string)">token</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)"> </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-string)">-a</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)"> ${your_app_name} </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-string)">-m</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)"> </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-string)">admin-machine-user</span></span>
<span></span>

Set the token in the Headers section of the playground as follows:

<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">{</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">  </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-keyword)">&quot;Authorization&quot;</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-punctuation)">:</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)"> </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-string-expression)">&quot;bearer ${your_access_token}&quot;</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">}</span></span>
<span></span>

Seed the data to ensure roles are pre-populated within the Tailor DB. See Seeding Data for more information.

Query the roles to assign a role to the user.

<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-keyword)">query</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">{</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">  roles{</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">    collection{</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">      id</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">      name</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">    }</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">  }</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">}</span></span>
<span></span>

You can assign the user a role using its ID.

<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">{</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">  </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-comment)">&quot;data&quot;</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">: {</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">    </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-comment)">&quot;roles&quot;</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">: {</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">      </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-comment)">&quot;collection&quot;</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">: [</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">        {</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">          </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-comment)">&quot;id&quot;</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">: </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-comment)">&quot;422e0d2d-fb14-458b-bbb2-db307fc1a174&quot;</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">,</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">          </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-comment)">&quot;name&quot;</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">: </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-comment)">&quot;Admin&quot;</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">        },</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">        {</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">          </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-comment)">&quot;id&quot;</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">: </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-comment)">&quot;f1292168-f6de-405a-9f5a-c674a239da93&quot;</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">,</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">          </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-comment)">&quot;name&quot;</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">: </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-comment)">&quot;Editor&quot;</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">        }</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">      ]</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">    }</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">  }</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">}</span></span>
<span></span>

Create a user with the email address used in step 1 and assign the 'Editor' role.

<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-keyword)">mutation</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">{</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">  createUser(</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">      input: {</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">        </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-string)">name</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">: </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-string-expression)">&quot;&lt;username&gt;&quot;</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">        </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-string)">email</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">: </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-string-expression)">&quot;&lt;user-email&gt;&quot;</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">		    </span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-string)">roles</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">: [</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-token-comment)">&quot;f1292168-f6de-405a-9f5a-c674a239da93&quot;</span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">]</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">      }</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">  ){</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">    id</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">  }</span></span>
<span><span style="color: var(--shiki-color-text)">}</span></span>
<span></span>

The user is created and can now access the application.
