Head over to your site on localhost:3000

  1. In the navbar, click on Account and you will be redirected to the Login Page.
  2. Click Sign Up and in the new window, enter your email address and a password (or whatever other authentication you have choosen).
  3. You'll need to verify your email with the code they've sent you. (If you have not setup resend, the email will come from 'noreply@mail.app.supabase.io')
  4. When you run the app in localhost, there will be a Admin Button in the top navigation - but it won't work yet.
  5. Head over to supabase.com, login, select your project, head over to Table Editor, select users, and see if created yourself as a user. Now, manually change is_super_admin from FALSE to TRUE. This way, your app knows that you are the super admin. Only you with root access to the database can create super admins.
  6. While you are here, copy your own id (the uuid in the first cell, with right click on the cell and press 'copy cell content'). Head over to app/_constants/constants.ts and enter it as the BOT_USER_ID. This way activities by a CRON JOB will be associated with your account. (Of course you can also create another user and take their UUID - if you want to have stuff separated and a bit more secure.)
  7. Return to localhost:3000 and click the 'Admin' Button
  8. Welcome to your Admin Dashboard which should show a lot of 0s and a single 1 under Admins.

If you are on the Standard or Pro template: In the left side bar, click on 'Activities' and see that there is a new acitivity: The creation of your account!

If you feel clicking a button in the admin area is a bit slow, you are correct. Every button press and function that is triggered will re-check if you are really the admin. The website itself that users will see will load instantly!
