    "admin": {
        "username": "username",
        "password": "password"
    },
    "smtp": "smtp://[email protected]"
}

My /lib/userAccount.js :

let username = Meteor.settings.admin.username;

Accounts.createUser({

You should start meteor app with: meteor --settings ./path/to/settings.json

Remember also that anything in Your settings not under a key called "public" is only made available to the server. If you put something under a key called "public", it will be available to client and the server.

You should move userAccount.js to server folder or check if (Meteor.isServer) {} in Your lib folder.
