Creating a new administrator account in Magento 2 allows you to grant access to additional users for managing your e-commerce store. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of creating a new administrator account in Magento 2 using the command line. Let's get started!

Using Command Line Interface :

Run the Command to Create the Administrator Account 
To create a new administrator account, execute the following command:

php bin/magento admin:user:create --admin-firstname=John --admin-lastname=Doe --admin-email=johndoe@example.com --admin-username=johndoe --admin-password=YourPassword123
