Magento is a very powerful and fast growing ecommerce script, created by Varien. It is an open-source platform using Zend PHP and MySQL databases. Magento offers great flexibility through its modular architecture, is completely scalable and has a wide range of control options that its users appreciate.

In this section, we are going to build a MySQL script that you can use for adding a new admin account within seconds.

It is recommended to have a salted password hash ready.

Paste into the MySQL script:

Don’t forget to set your own values on lines 4-8, 26, 27.

Note: If you use Magento CE 1.3.2.4-1.4.*, remove lines 16 and 17.

Now you are ready to run script:

That is it! Now you can execute script any time you need to add admin account.

Alternatively

If you are not comfortable using script than another way can meet your needs:

1. Click Insert button to make new admin_user record. Fill out necessary fields using existing record values and this manual as template.

2. Next we need to add record to admin_role table.

Here user_id – is ID of user that we have created. parent_id is role_id of Administrators record:

Test your new admin account.
