For a user who is authenticated externally, create the user with the same username as the one on the external authentication server.

The only operation a user who is created can perform initially is to change the password. After changing the password, the user can run any commands allowed for the given role.

  • Required role: VpsSecurity

  1. Verify the user group ID to which the user is to belong.

    REST API: GET /v1/objects/user-groups

    CLI: user_group_list

  2. Create a user.

    Run either of the following commands with the user ID, password, and user group ID (more than one ID (up to 8) can be specified), and authentication type specified.

    To authenticate the user with the external authentication server, specify "external" as the authentication type. (You do not have to specify a password.)

    REST API: POST /v1/objects/users

    CLI: user_create

    After running the command, you receive a response indicating user information.
