Add users via database table

Help / Discuss

Hello all,

I should preface this by saying I am new to DB management in general. I am wondering if it is possible to add new users to the wiki by adding rows to a table in the database. I’m currently testing out a couple platforms for work (I’m an intern, I don’t know what I don’t know) to see which one we like best for our needs. One thing I need to do is test user rights and group rights management, so I need to have a bunch of users to play around with. Instead of creating each user individually through the wiki, I was wanting to generate them in the database. I was able to do this in MediaWiki because there was a table called “User”, but I don’t see one in the XWiki database. Is this possible to do?

Thanks!
James
