How do I create an admin role?

[engineervix]

I can register a user role like this

POST http://localhost:3001/v1/auth/register
content-type: application/json

{
    "name": "John Doe",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "password": "Password1"
}

How can I register an admin role?

The register endpoint can be used only to register as a user.
To create an admin, you should use the POST /v1/users (which is the create user endpoint) and specify role: 'admin' in the body. You need to be logged in as an admin to be allowed to do that. This means that the first admin should be created manually in the db.

@ymadhubabu a much easier way would be to edit the code and remove the auth middleware from the create user endpoint. Then simply create a user with the role admin (as described above) and there you have your admin

I don't know how to manage users. I want to list users and or add users. I previously registered an user with the user role. through mongoDB Compas, I have modified the role of that user as admin. I log in as admin user and receive a token:

I log in as admin user with:

curl -X 'POST' \
  'http://localhost:3000/v1/auth/login' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "password": "password1"
}'

and receive the token:

200 | Response body
{
  "user": {
    "role": "admin",
    "isEmailVerified": true,
    "name": "fake name",
    "email": "[email protected]",
    "id": "6351bbe44914b069e246e26b"
  },
  "tokens": {
    "access": {
      "token": "...",
      "expires": "2022-10-20T22:05:17.325Z"
    },
    "refresh": {
      "token":   "<<<< this token >>>>",
      "expires": "2022-11-19T22:35:17.325Z"
    }
  }
}

I enter the token in the authorization and get this instruction to list users:

curl -X 'GET' \
  'http://localhost:3000/v1/users?limit=10&page=1' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <<<< this token >>>>'

But the result is bad
