Create superUser

[rithikyennam]

Is there a way to create a superuser using Nautobot API
I see there is no is_superuser flag in the API for creating users.

Is there any other way of creating nautobot superuser using a python script?

If python script is not possible can you suggest a way to create it using ansible module?
We are using ansible module for deployment, using ansible it is allowing to create a super user but we cannot set a password for it

It looks like the only option right now is to use the ansible.builtin.expect module to run nautobot-server createsuperuser and answer the prompts. You could use nautobot-server createsuperuser --noinput --username theusername --email [email protected] to create the user without a password but the API doesn't currently support updating passwords on existing users, only setting passwords on new users created through the API.

@gsnider2195 there is a nautobot-server module that can handle this.
