How to create new user by admin in JHipster

In Jhipster, by default, user creates account by himself and admin activates it.

If we need to create fully working account by admin at once, some changes are necessary in code.

1. In src/main/java/.../service/UserService.java

change:

        String encryptedPassword = passwordEncoder.encode(RandomUtil.generatePassword());
        user.setPassword(encryptedPassword);
        user.setResetKey(RandomUtil.generateResetKey());
        user.setResetDate(ZonedDateTime.now());
        user.setActivated(true);
        userRepository.save(user);
        userSearchRepository.save(user);
        log.debug("Created Information for User: {}", user);
        return user;

to:

//        String encryptedPassword = passwordEncoder.encode(RandomUtil.generatePassword());
//        user.setPassword(encryptedPassword);
//        user.setResetKey(RandomUtil.generateResetKey());
//        user.setResetDate(ZonedDateTime.now());
        user.setPassword(passwordEncoder.encode(managedUserVM.getPassword()));
        user.setActivated(true);
        // new user gets registration key
        user.setActivationKey(RandomUtil.generateActivationKey());
        userRepository.save(user);
        userSearchRepository.save(user);
        log.debug("Created Information for User: {}", user);
        return user;

2. in /src/main/webapp/app/admin/user-management/user-management-dialog.html

change:

    <div class="modal-header">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true"
                ng-click="vm.clear()">&times;</button>
        <h4 class="modal-title" id="myUserLabel" data-translate="userManagement.home.createOrEditLabel">
            Create or edit a User</h4>
    </div>

to:

    <div class="modal-header">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true"
                ng-click="vm.clear()">&times;</button>
        <h4 class="modal-title" id="myUserLabel" data-translate="userManagement.home.createOrEditLabel">
            Create or edit a User</h4>
            
            <br>
            <div class="alert alert-danger" ng-show="(vm.user.password !== vm.confirmPassword)" data-translate="global.messages.error.dontmatch">
                The password and its confirmation do not match!
            </div>
    </div>

add:

        
                <div class="form-group">
                    <label class="control-label" for="password" data-translate="global.form.newpassword">New password</label>
                    <input type="password" class="form-control" id="password" name="password" placeholder="{{'global.form.newpassword.placeholder' | translate}}"
                           ng-model="vm.user.password" ng-minlength=4 ng-maxlength=50 required>
                    <div ng-show="form.password.$dirty && form.password.$invalid">
                        <p class="help-block"
                               ng-show="form.password.$error.required" data-translate="global.messages.validate.newpassword.required">
                            Your password is required.
                        </p>
                        <p class="help-block"
                               ng-show="form.password.$error.minlength" data-translate="global.messages.validate.newpassword.minlength">
                            Your password is required to be at least 4 characters.
                        </p>
                        <p class="help-block"
                               ng-show="form.password.$error.maxlength" data-translate="global.messages.validate.newpassword.maxlength">
                            Your password cannot be longer than 50 characters.
                        </p>
                    </div>
                    <password-strength-bar password-to-check="vm.user.password"></password-strength-bar>
                </div>
                <div class="form-group">
                    <label class="control-label" for="confirmPassword" data-translate="global.form.confirmpassword">New password confirmation</label>
                    <input type="password" class="form-control" id="confirmPassword" name="confirmPassword" placeholder="{{'global.form.confirmpassword.placeholder' | translate}}"
                           ng-model="vm.confirmPassword" ng-minlength=4 ng-maxlength=50 required>
                    <div ng-show="form.confirmPassword.$dirty && form.confirmPassword.$invalid">
                        <p class="help-block"
                               ng-show="form.confirmPassword.$error.required" data-translate="global.messages.validate.confirmpassword.required">
                            Your confirmation password is required.
                        </p>
                        <p class="help-block"
                               ng-show="form.confirmPassword.$error.minlength" data-translate="global.messages.validate.confirmpassword.minlength">
                            Your confirmation password is required to be at least 4 characters.
                        </p>
                        <p class="help-block"
                               ng-show="form.confirmPassword.$error.maxlength" data-translate="global.messages.validate.confirmpassword.maxlength">
                            Your confirmation password cannot be longer than 50 characters.
                        </p>
                    </div>
                </div>

and change:

<button type="submit" ng-disabled="editForm.$invalid || isSaving" class="btn btn-primary">

to:

<button type="submit" ng-disabled="editForm.$invalid || isSaving || (vm.user.password !== vm.confirmPassword)" class="btn btn-primary">
