Users

Users are not a vocabulary per se, but they are loaded in the same fashion, through the application data folder.

The file users.yaml contains a list of users to create, and is stored in the root of the app_data folder.

app_data/
└── users.yaml

The content of the file is as follows:

#list of users:
- email: <string>
  username: <string>
  full_name: <string>
  affiliations: <string>
  active: <bool>
  confirmed: <bool>
  password: <string>
  roles: <array of strings>
  allow: <array of strings>
  • email : Email of the user.
  • username : Username of the user (optional).
  • full_name: Name of the user (optional).
  • affiliations : Affiliations of the user (optional).
  • active : Is the user active or not.
  • confirmed : Is the user confirmed or not (optional).
  • password : Their password. If empty, a random one is generated.
  • roles : Array of roles the user has. The roles must already be present in the DB.
  • allow : Array of action needs the user has.

If the file is not provided, InvenioRDM creates an admin user with the email admin@inveniosoftware.org (and a random password). If the file is provided but is empty, no default user is created.

About random passwords

A random password is automatically generated when the field password is empty (or for the admin user). You can define users' passwords also by setting the variable RDM_RECORDS_USER_FIXTURE_PASSWORDS in your invenio.cfg:

RDM_RECORDS_USER_FIXTURE_PASSWORDS = {
   'admin@inveniosoftware.org': 'supersecret123',
   'test@inveniosoftware.org': 'mypsw987',
}

Notice that the configuration RDM_RECORDS_USER_FIXTURE_PASSWORDS will take precedence over any password defined in the users.yaml file.

Change password

To set or change the password for an existing user, create a new shell with pipenv run invenio shell and run:

from flask_security.utils import hash_password
from invenio_accounts.proxies import current_datastore
from invenio_db import db

user = current_datastore.get_user("admin@inveniosoftware.org")
user.password = hash_password("my new psw")
current_datastore.activate_user(user)
db.session.commit()

Adding users and roles

You may need to add users or make permission changes after the users vocabulary has been loaded. To create an account, run:

pipenv run invenio users create email@domain.edu --active --confirm

This will automatically confirm the account. If you want to force the user to verify their email address, leave off the --confirm parameter.

To give an account admin permissions, run:

pipenv run invenio roles add <email> admin

Confirm user

Only confirmed accounts can be logged in. You can confirm an account automatically upon creation using the --confirm parameter.

Alternatively you can confirm an account programmatically by opening a new shell using pipenv run invenio shell and running:

from flask_security.confirmable import confirm_user
from invenio_accounts.proxies import current_datastore
from invenio_db import db
from invenio_users_resources.services.users.tasks import reindex_users

user = current_datastore.get_user("admin@inveniosoftware.org")
confirm_user(user)
db.session.commit()
reindex_users([user.id])
