User Management Commands ​

These commands help you manage customer accounts in the AdminBolt system.

bolt-cli create-admin-account ​

Creates a new administrator account in the system.

Example: ​

bash
bolt-cli create-admin-account

This command will prompt you for the necessary information to create a new admin account, including:

  • Admin name
  • Email address
  • Password

The command prevents the creation of duplicate admin accounts with the same email address.

bolt-cli create-customer-account ​

⚠️ Not available in the current version - this command is not present in the current CLI. Kept for reference.

Creates a new customer account in the system.

Example: ​

bash
bolt-cli create-customer-account

This command will prompt you for the necessary information to create a new customer account, including:

  • Customer name
  • Email address
  • Password
  • Account type and permissions

After successfully creating a customer account, you'll be able to manage the account's hosting subscriptions, domains, and other settings through the AdminBolt interface.

bolt-cli reset-admin-account-password ​

Resets the password for an existing administrator account.

Example: ​

bash
bolt-cli reset-admin-account-password

This command will interactively prompt you for:

  1. Admin email address
  2. New password

Usage Example: ​

bash
$ bolt-cli reset-admin-account-password
Resetting admin account password...
Enter email: [email protected]
Enter password: ********
Admin account password reset successfully

Important Notes: ​

  • The command verifies the admin account exists before attempting the password reset
  • An error message is displayed if the admin account is not found
  • Passwords are securely hashed before storage
  • Password input is hidden for security

bolt-cli set-admin-password ​

Sets the password for the administrator account. The administrator login is always admin. This command is intended for unattended installations, where you set the admin password without using the one-time SSO login URL.

Options: ​

  • --password: The password to set. When omitted, the command generates a strong 20-character password and prints it to stdout.

Example: ​

bash
bolt-cli set-admin-password

The password is temporary: the panel requires the administrator to change it at first sign-in.

Warning: A password passed with --password on the command line can be recorded in your shell history. Prefer the generated password, or clear the relevant history entry afterward.
