User Creation via CLI

The user:create command creates user accounts from the command line. This is useful for administrative tasks and automated setup.

Usage

docker exec -it slink slink user:create \
  --email=<email> \
  --username=<username>

The command prompts for a password interactively unless you pass --password.

Options

Option	Alias	Required	Description
--email		Yes	User’s email address.
--username		Yes	Username.
--display-name		No	Display name. Defaults to the username.
--password	-p	No	Set the password inline. If omitted, you are prompted.
--activate	-a	No	Activate immediately instead of leaving the account pending approval.

Caution

Passing --password leaves the password visible in shell history and process listings. For sensitive environments, prefer the interactive prompt.

Tip

When USER_APPROVAL_REQUIRED=true, users are created pending approval by default. Use --activate to create active users immediately.
