[ckan-dev] adding users through the admin interface

Sat Mar 15 01:43:56 UTC 2014

Olá Augusto,

You can invite users to an organization by going into its members' list. As
far as I know, the only other way to add a user is by using paster
commands. There's no way to set up a sysadmin from the web interface as
well (just using paster).

The UserController.new method isn't disabled: it's used by
UserController.register. I don't know why this was done this way, though,
as .register is simply delegating to .new.

Thanks! You found a bug in our docs. We can delete users since CKAN 2.2. I
created an issue to fix it at https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1602.

Cheers,
