# Backend Scripts
Utility scripts for backend management tasks.
## create_admin.py
Creates an admin user account with elevated privileges.
### Usage
```bash
cd backend
python scripts/create_admin.py
```
The script will prompt you for:
- Email address
- Password (minimum 8 characters)
- First name
- Last name
### Security Notes
- Admin users can only be created through this script or direct database manipulation
- The admin role cannot be assigned through the signup API
- Existing email addresses will be rejected
- Passwords are hashed using werkzeug's secure hash algorithm
### Example
```bash
$ python scripts/create_admin.py
=== Create Admin User ===
Email: admin@example.com
Password: ********
First name: Admin
Last name: User
Create admin user 'admin@example.com'? (yes/no): yes
✓ Admin user created successfully!
Email: admin@example.com
Name: Admin User
Role: admin
```
## hash_passwords.py
Migrates existing plain text passwords in the database to secure hashed passwords.
### Usage
```bash
cd backend
python scripts/hash_passwords.py
```
### Description
This script should be run once after deploying password hashing to convert any existing plain text passwords to secure hashes. It:
- Reads all users from the database
- Identifies plain text passwords (those not starting with hash prefixes)
- Hashes plain text passwords using werkzeug's secure algorithm
- Updates user records in the database
- Skips already-hashed passwords
- Reports the number of users updated
### Security Notes
- Run this script only once after password hashing deployment
- Execute in a secure environment (admin access only)
- Verify a few users can log in after migration
- Delete or secure the script after use to prevent accidental re-execution
- The script is idempotent - running it multiple times is safe but unnecessary
### Example
```bash
$ python scripts/hash_passwords.py
Password already hashed for user admin@example.com
Hashed password for user user1@example.com
Hashed password for user user2@example.com
Migration complete. Updated 2 users.
```
## Requirements
These scripts require the backend virtual environment to be activated:
```bash
# Windows
.venv\Scripts\activate
# Linux/Mac
source .venv/bin/activate
```
