```
'modules' => [
    'user' => [
        'class' => 'nkostadinov\user\Module',
    ],
],
```

Step 3: Update database schema
------------------------------

[](#step-3-update-database-schema)

> **NOTE:** Make sure that you have properly configured **db** application component.

After you downloaded and configured Yii2-user, the last thing you need to do is updating your database schema by applying the migrations:

```
$ php yii migrate/up --migrationPath=@vendor/nkostadinov/yii2-user/migrations
```

How to run tests
================

[](#how-to-run-tests)

Install codeception globally:

```
$ composer global require "codeception/codeception=*" "codeception/specify=*" "codeception/verify=*"
```

Install globally the composer's asset plugin:

```
$ composer global require "fxp/composer-asset-plugin:~1.1.0"
```

Go to nkostadinov/yii2-user directory and run:

```
$ composer update
```

Build the codeception actors:

```
$ codecept build
```

Create a new database called 'user\_test':

```
$ mysql -e 'create database user_test;'
```

Run the migrations:

```
$ php tests/_app/yii migrate --interactive=0
```

Advanced user
=============

[](#advanced-user)

The yii2-user extension has the following additional functionalities that can be added on demand:

- \[Password aging\] (docs/PASSWORD\_AGING.md)
- \[Password history policy\] (docs/PASSWORD\_HISTORY\_POLICY.md)
- \[Account locking policy\] (docs/ACCOUNT\_LOCKING\_POLICY.md)
- \[First login policy\] (docs/FIRST\_LOGIN\_POLICY.md)

Admin panel
===========

[](#admin-panel)

You can find the admin panel on /user/admin/index route. In order to set proper permissions, change the access rules of the controller via the `$adminRules` property of the User component. Defaults to:

```
[
    [
        'allow' => true,
        'roles' => ['@']
    ]
]

```
