So if you look at the following code (pulled from the documentation above)
let userid = Accounts.createUser({
email: 'user@withoutPassword.com'
})
//this will return the newly created _id
Accounts.sendEnrollmentEmail(userid);
This can be run through the meteor shell, but I cant seem to run the same code on the server (in a meteor method). It will raise the following error “[Error: options.password must be a string]”
Is this only meant to be run through a Meteor shell script to do like a bulk enrollment through the shell?
Or can I set up an admin portal in my app that allows this functionality as well?
Are you sure this method is only running on the server - you’ve not accidentally put it in a file which is also imported to the client? Is that error reported on the server or client?
The error message "Error: options.password must be a string"
is only found in the client version of password_client.js/Accounts.createUser()
.
The server version would throw a different error.

awesome, thanks for showing me the source for the server version of the createUser function. It seems like it should only be running on the server, but now I suspect something is up with it. Ill report back when I have fix in place. Thank you tho. I am trying to build a login/account mgmt system in a vue app. So this is the first time I am not using the UI pakage to just take a massive shortcut
Yea, the issue was I was using a validated method instead of using the original Meteor method. So i swapped it out and then in the body of the Meteor method it called the server’s createUser function.
