Managing Users

When running in Server Mode users will need to login to the server from the gateway client.

• If this is the first time you are starting the server, follow the first time login procedure.
• An admin account must always exist and be in place.
• It is also important to create a secure password and secure its contents.

Users within the system are all power users and you must ensure that any users that are created are trusted.

Creating a User Account

Once logged in you can create a user by using the create user command.

iagctl users create <username> [flags]

When creating a user account for another user, use the --temp-password flag. This will require the user to change their password the first time logging into the server.
