Introduction

When deploying an app as a Free App in Mendix, the MxAdmin user is not created automatically. The database setup is initiated during the first deployment for Free Apps that have never been deployed. At this point, any data snapshots added to the app will be restored to the database, ensuring the app starts with the predefined data.

Environment

Free app
