That’s it. You created Admin User in Magento 2 using Admin Panel.
Create Admin User in Magento 2 via Command Line (CLI)?
Another way to create Admin User in Magento 2 is via Command Line. CLI is a fast and fantastic way to perform various operations in Magento.
Simply open a command line and navigate to the Magento 2 root directory.
Execute the following command:
php bin/magento admin:user:create --admin-user="USER_USERNAME" --admin-password="USER_PASSWORD" --admin-email="USER_EMAIL" --admin-firstname="USER_FIRSTNAME" --admin-lastname="USER_LASTNAME"That’s it.
But why a new Admin user?
When the store is small, you handle everything on your own. But as it grows, you need help. You have to give access to developers, marketers and other team members to run your store.
It will not make sense to give everyone one account. You will not be able to find who made what changes to the store, as everything is done by one account.
Giving everyone a separate account makes them accountable for the action being taken via their user accounts.
