Create zope emergency user with wsgi server

only for documentation purposes for later:
Username: emergency
Password: XXX

shutdown your instance and run

../venv/bin/addzopeuser -c instance/etc/zope.conf emergency XXX

start your instance and login with the created user

../venv/runwsgi -v instance/etc/zope.ini

That should definitely be somewhere in the Backend documentation on docs.plone.org ...

i will make an PR. @stevepiercy what do you think about the right place in the docs?

Perhaps in Users and Groups – Backend — Plone Documentation v6.0. It's empty, but there is an open issue to migrate content from Plone 5 docs.

addzopeuser is not mentioned anywhere in Plone 5 docs, so that's my best guess.

There is a difference between buildout and mxdev installation.

With buildout and plone.recipe.zope2instance you can do bin/instance adduser <user> <password>

I assume @1letter has a mxdev installation ...

yes, i have a mxdev/pip installation
