+This school project is for my teacher to have students log in and check out their XP and assignments. This website application is not available online, this is just a locally run website at our school. To create a teacher, it must be done by a site admin.
+
+You'll need to create the site admin in the database in a collection called users and insert a document via MongoDB Compass.Format the document as shown: `{ "role": "Admin", "name": your name, "email": your email, "password": your encrypted password }`
+
+Replace `your name` with the name you specify, `your email` with the email you would like to use to login,
+and replace `your encrypted password` with your [Encrypted Password](#Encrypting Your Password)
+
+The ID for your admin document should be auto generated by MongoDB Compass when you `insert` the document.
