@Semulka – This script creates admin accounts that have access to all parts of Magento. If you wanted to give them access to only certain parts of Magento, you’d need to go into Magento and create a separate role, and then update the script to reference the name of that role. Right now, it’s referencing “Administrators”.

Hi all,

Does this script actually create admin accounts and these admins can only access their stores to list items and other features specific to their stores?

Regards

@Too Many Bits – angled brackets are the standard for indicating that data needs to be replaced, but I understand how that could be confusing. I’ve removed the angled brackets from the example code. Thanks!

Ok last time. You need to remove the angle brackets in order to store your data properly in the database.

Sorry for the repeat. forgot to escape my code.


For reference's sake, removing the  such as ''  to resemble 'John' is what worked for me. Otherwise the data stored will include , oops!

Also I have a ' in my last name, this is easily escaped with a \ before the ' like O\'Connor.

Thank you for sharing. I’ve linked this script in a related thread on the magento forums. Just a heads up.
