iagctl create user

Create a user

Synopsis

This command will create a user on a gateway server when executed from a gateway client.

All of the users that are created within gateway are considered superusers and have full access to the system. It is important to have full trust when creating users.

Admin User

If no users have been manually created, you will first need to log in with the admin user before running this command. See the Admin User Creation section of the iagctl server -h help menu for more information.
