iagctl create user

Create a new user.

The iagctl create user command creates a user on a gateway server when you run it from a gateway client. All users created in the gateway are superusers with full access to the system. Only create users you fully trust.

For more information, see Manage users and credentials.

Prerequisites

If no users exist yet, you need to log in with the admin user before running this command. For more information, see the “Admin user creation” section in the iagctl server -h help output.

Syntax

$
iagctl create user <username> [flags]

Usage notes

Temporary passwords

Use the --temp-password flag to require the new user to change their password at the next login. This lets you set up new users without sharing permanent passwords.
