Command for "create user record"?

[kenahoo]

Is there a cv command for "Create User Record", to create a WordPress/Drupal user for a given CiviCRM contact? It would be very convenient if so!

There's not one built in, but you could probably write a one-liner. Something like this for contact 333:

cv ev '$contact = civicrm_api3("Contact", "getsingle", ["id" => 333]); $contact["cms_name"] = $contact["display_name"]; CRM_Core_BAO_CMSUser::create($contact, "email")'

That's 3 PHP statements. The first makes an API call based on the ID 333 to get that contact's info. Second, we set the CMS username to the contact's display name (could also be, e.g., $contact["email"] and not $contact["display_name"]). The third command creates the CMS user.

Note that this doesn't actually connect the user to the Civi record, but that will happen when they first log in. If you need that ahead of time, you'll have to figure that part out :)
