Arguments #

Optional: #

• _id: specify the administror kuid, instead of letting Kuzzle generate a random identifier.
• reset (boolean): if true, restricted rights are applied to the anonymous and default roles (by default, these roles don't have any restriction).

Body properties #

• content: administrator additional information. Can be left empty.
• credentials: describe how the new administrator can be authenticated. This object must contain one or multiple properties, named after the target authentication strategy to use. Each one of these properties are objects containing the credentials information, corresponding to that authentication strategy

Response #

Returns information about the newly created administrator:

• _id: administrator kuid
• _source: administrator user document, contains all properties set in the content body argument, but also the list of attributed profileIds. That list is initialized with the admin profile
