State of SQLite DB before and after create first user.

Before:

>>> from sqlalchemy import create_engine, text

>>> engine = create_engine("sqlite:////<path>/webui.db")
>>> connection = engine.connect()
>>> connection.execute(text("select * from user")).fetchall()
[]

After:

>>> connection.execute(text("select * from user")).fetchall()
[('894d9af6-3108-45fa-a7db-d92b267db0b9', '<first and last name>', '<my email>', 'user', '/user.png', None, xxxxxxx, xxxxx, xxxxxx, 'null', 'null', 'oidc@<my email>')]

First user has user role :(
