$mailTemplate = Mage::getModel('core/email_template');
if(file_exists($attachmentFilePath)){ 
                    $fileContents = file_get_contents($attachmentFilePath);
                    $attachment   = $mailTemplate->getMail()->createAttachment($fileContents,Zend_Mime::TYPE_OCTETSTREAM,Zend_Mime::DISPOSITION_ATTACHMENT,Zend_Mime::ENCODING_BASE64,basename($attachmentFilePath));

<modules>
<modulename>
<files>
<default>Namespace_Module.csv</default>
</files>
</modulename>
</modules>
</translate>
</adminhtml>

<frontend>

<translate>
<modules>
<modulename>
<files>

Magento create admin user programmatically

Hello all,

Here is custom script to create admin user programmatically.

<?php
# Create New admin User programmatically.
require_once(‘./app/Mage.php’);
umask(0);
Mage::app();

try {
$user = Mage::getModel(‘admin/user’)
->setData(array(
‘username’  => ‘admin1’,
‘firstname’ => ‘Admin’,
‘lastname’    => ‘Admin’,
’email’     => ‘santosh@test.com’,
‘password’  =>’admin123′,
‘is_active’ => 1
))->save();

} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
exit;
}

//Assign Role Id
try {
$user->setRoleIds(array(1))  //Administrator role id is 1 ,Here you can assign other roles ids
->setRoleUserId($user->getUserId())
->saveRelations();

} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
exit;
}

echo “User created successfully”;

?>

Put the above content in a magento root folder in a file and  then browse the file.

You are done with creating new admin user.
