I'm not sure if that answers your question, but if you need to seed yout db, I did something like that yesterday. First, I'd set my oAuth (with github, for instance) and I'd login From there, i'd go to the database, save all information and put it into my seed file

@Gabes i see so you directly add this data into the database and don’t use better-auth to signup or createUser. In your case do you need to create a password and/or role ? I’m looking into creating a email and pass authentication system

im dealing with same problem, i use an script at startup server and create a user if there are no any users in table 
const existingUsers = await db.select().from(user).limit(1)

  if (existingUsers.length > 0) {
    return { ok: true, message: 'Ya existe un usuario' }
  }

  const newUser = await auth.api.signUpEmail({
        body: {
            name,
            email,
            password,
        }
    })
const existingUsers = await db.select().from(user).limit(1)

  if (existingUsers.length > 0) {
    return { ok: true, message: 'Ya existe un usuario' }
  }

  const newUser = await auth.api.signUpEmail({
        body: {
            name,
            email,
            password,
        }
    })
i think is posible change role directly in database update: 
  const newUser = await auth.api.createUser({
        body: {
            name,
            email,
            password,
            role: "admin"
        }
    })
  const newUser = await auth.api.createUser({
        body: {
            name,
            email,
            password,
            role: "admin"
        }
    })
