How to add new Control center user

This article explains how to add a new Control Center user when using realm as SQL/Postgres.

 Instructions

Please follow the steps below in your SQL/Postgres terminal to add a new CC user with super admin access:

1. Check for Existing User:
   Execute the following command to verify if the required user already exists in the cc_users table:

   select * from cc_users;

   If the user does not exist, please create the user using an INSERT statement generated using the helper tool. Please check here for documentation.

   cd. /opt/hivemq/extensions/hivemq-enterprise-security-extension/helper/linux ./hivemq-ese-helper db create control-center-user new_cc_user new_password"

   or

   cd /opt/hivemq/extensions/hivemq-enterprise-security-extension/helper/jvm java -jar hivemq-ese-helper.jar db create control-center-user ain-sw_usr "H};cMYqq%6q2aj"

   Copy that statement and execute it in the SQL/Postgres terminal.

2. Confirm User Addition:
   Verify that the user has been successfully added to the database by checking the cc_users table again. Copy the user_id, as it will be needed in later steps.

3. Check for Super Admin Role:
   Check the cc_roles table to confirm that a super admin role exists in the database, and copy the role_id of the super admin role:

4. Verify User Roles:
   Check the cc_user_roles table to see if the combination of user_id (from Step 2) and role_id (from Step 3) already exists:

5. Add User Role:
   If no entry is found, add the user role using the following INSERT statement, substituting the appropriate user_id and role_id:

6. Final Verification:
   Verify that the entry has been successfully added to the cc_user_roles table. If confirmed, start HiveMQ and attempt to log in with the newly added user in the Control Center.
