+first steps to work with Yii2-usuario
+=====================================
+
+After installing the extension and having configured everything, you need setup your application with the all the user related stuff, e.g.
+
+* creating first users, roles, permissions, ...
+* assigning permissions and roles to users
+* extending your controllers with access restrictions  
+* starting user management
+
+## Creating your first user
+
+There are several ways to do that:
+
+* using migrations
+* using the Command line (-> installation description)
+
+### Creating the first Administrator during a migration
+
+This is helpful e.g. when using you Yii2 applicatio with Docker and need to start the Docker Container with basic user settings.
+
+We will create an ```admin```user with a ```adminisrator``` role. 
+
+Put this in your migration:
+
+    class m... extends Migration
+    {
+        public function safeUp()
+        {
+            $auth = Yii::$app->authManager;
+                
+            // create a role named "administrator"
+            $administratorRole = $auth->createRole('administrator');
+            $administratorRole->description = 'Administrator';
+            $auth->add($administratorRole);
+
+            // create user "admin" with password "verysecret"
+            $user = new \Da\User\Model\User([
+                'scenario' => 'create', 
+                'email' => "email@example.com", 
+                'username' => "admin", 
+                'password' => "verysecret"  // >6 characters!
+            ]);
+            $user->confirmed_at = time();
+            $user->save();
+            
+            // assign role to our admin-user
+            $auth->assign($administratorRole, $user->id);
+        }
+
+        public function safeDown()
+        {
+            $auth = Yii::$app->authManager;
+
+            // delete admin-user and administrator role
+            $administratorRole = $auth->getRole("xw-administrator");
+            $user = \Da\User\Model\User::findOne(['name'=>"admin"]);
+            $auth->revoke($administratorRole, $user->id);
+            $user->delete();
+        }
+
+## User Management
+
+Having setup the ```admin``` user you can start using user management at
+
+    http://yourapp/index.php?r=user/admin
+
+You should be prompted a login screen and the enter ```admin/verysecret```.
+
+### Recommended Reading
+
+It is helpful to basically understand how Yii2 does authantication. The you can get in Yii2-usuario more quickly.
