Currently the only way to create the first admin is to call
POST /api/v1/users/bootstrap. This adds an automated path: ifSOAT_ADMIN_USERNAMEandSOAT_ADMIN_PASSWORDare set at startup and no users exist, the server creates the admin before accepting requests.Changes
src/server.ts— after DB sync, readsSOAT_ADMIN_USERNAME/SOAT_ADMIN_PASSWORDand callscreateFirstAdminUser. Reuses existing logic that no-ops when users already exist. Errors are caught and logged without crashing the server..env.example— documents the two new optional variables (commented out by default).docs/modules/iam.md— extends the Bootstrap section with the env-var mechanism and an example snippet.Usage
On startup with an empty user table the server logs:
If users already exist the variables are silently ignored.
