NAME¶

sxacl-useradd - create a new user

SYNOPSIS¶

sxacl useradd [OPTIONS] <username> sx://[profile@]cluster

Print help and exit

--full-help

Print help, including hidden options, and exit

-V, --version

Print version and exit

User type. Accepted values are "admin" and "normal" (default).

-d, --description=STRING

Set the optional description of this user.

-q, --quota=SIZE

Set total quota for all volumes owned by this user (allows K,M,G,T suffixes). The user will not be able to store more data than this limit across all of the volumes it owns.

--force-key=KEY

By default, the authentication key is automatically generated for the new user. With this option one can force the use of an old key (obtained with sxacl-usergetkey(1)), when recreating the user on a new or another cluster. Only a key that was previously generated for the same username will be accepted.
