  @kvist__ yes, I know. But I only display some fields within my user configuration page if the user is an admin. And at first-install I want to create an admin. So I have to check if it is the first install page to ignore checks

  Hi @dnl.krmr you can achieve this by adding a

  beforeChange

  hook to your users collection, this hook would check if any users exist, if it is the first user then assign your admin role.

  
  
  

  Here is an example:
