Create Account Management Schema

note

Account Management API is now deprecated and we recommend that you use Account Management functionality built into Elastic Path Commerce 8.2 and later.

Pre-requisites

• Ensure that all requirements described in the Requirements are met.
• Ensure that you have the URLs for the Account Management user interface, the Account Management API, and Keycloak.
• Ensure that the MySQL compatible service is provisioned and the username, password, and other connectivity details are available.
• Ensure that Keycloak is configured and deployed.
• Ensure that the ID, full name, and e-mail of the seller administrator that you created in Keycloak are available.
  • For more information, see the Creating new seller administrator section.

Initializing Database Schema

1. Connect to the database and run the following query:

INSERT INTO TUSER (GUID, IDP_IDENTIFIER, NAME, EMAIL, USER_TYPE) VALUES(UUID(), "<SELLER_ADMIN_ID>", "<Seller Admin Full Name>", "<Seller Admin Email>", "SELLER_USER");

Validating Database Schema

1. Verify that the Liquibase command is completed without any error.

2. Connect to the MySQL Server and verify that the schema is created.

   For the verification, use the MySQL credentials that you use to authenticate the Account Management API service.

3. Verify that the newly added user is listed in the TUSER table.

Post-deployment Tasks

Following are the tasks that need to be performed after deploying the database schema:

1. Configure store access for associate.
2. Setup Seller Administrator

Configuring Store Access for Associate

An associate can shop from all stores that has store codes in the TSTOREREF table. If you want to restrict any access to a specific store, remove the corresponding store code row from the TSTOREREF table. For a new store, add a row to the Account Management database in the TSTOREREF table.

Use this procedure to add a new row for a store to make the store accessible from the Account Management service.

1. To add a new row to the Account Management database in the TSTOREREF table, connect to the database and run the following query:

INSERT INTO TSTOREREF (STORECODE) VALUES (<store code from commerce>);

Setting up Seller Administrator

Use this procedure to add a new seller administrator who can manage all accounts in the Account Management service.

1. In the Commerce realm in KeyCloak, create a new user note the user ID.

   For more information about creating a new user in Keycloak, see the Setting up a seller administrator in keycloak section.

2. In the Account Management database in the TUSER table, add a new row by running the following query:

INSERT INTO TUSER (GUID, IDP_IDENTIFIER, NAME, EMAIL, USER_TYPE) VALUES(UUID(), "<SELLER_ADMIN_ID>", "<Seller Admin Full Name>", "<Seller Admin Email>", "SELLER_USER");
