If my Laravel app has role-based permissions where only a type of user (superadmin) has the ability to register users, how would I create that initial user?

Should I use a seeder and create the user from there? Would the password be exposed in the code (from env variable maybe?)?

Or could I create it from the command line?

Seeding is the way. For the password just Hash it in the same way the laravel base framework does it.

'password' => Hash::make('my secret password')

Of course, the password will be visible to those with access to your source code. Change the password when your site is up and running the first time.
