First Admin Login

On a brand-new install there are no users yet. The dev module ships a token-minting endpoint that lets you generate an administrator JWT without going through registration.

ORKESTRA_API_URL=http://localhost:3000 ./scripts/devtoken.sh administrator

The script prints a Bearer token. Paste it into the admin UI's login form (or any API client) to access the platform with the administrator role.

:::warning Production The dev module is automatically disabled in production builds. Never expose it on a public-facing instance. :::

What to do next​

  1. Configure SMTP at /admin/modules so verification and password-reset emails are delivered (the default noop driver logs them to stdout).
  2. Create your real administrator user via the standard registration flow.
  3. Disable the dev module once you're done with the bootstrap.
