Managing User Accounts

When managing user accounts, the administrator must have administration privileges for the organization the user is part of or where the member will be created.

Creating User Accounts with CLI

When a user account is created, the account is added to the specified organization. If no organization is specified, the UForge default organization is used. When creating a user, the administrator must specify a subscription code. This subscription code defines the roles, OSes, formats the user has access to, in addition to any quotas.

Note

Since a subscription code is required to create a user, the UForge administrator must first create these subscription profiles, and add the organization administrator (or another user) to the admin list.

To create a user account use uforge user create with the arguments as follows:

# uforge user create --account kermit --code <subscriptionProfileCode> --email kermit@usharesoft.com --url https://uforge.usharesoft.com:443 -u $ADMIN -p $PASS

As no default password is specified, UForge creates a temporary random password for the new user account. An email is automatically sent to the email address assigned to the user account when the account has been successfully created. The user account is automatically active, allowing the user to sign in and begin using UForge.

The create command provides a set of optional arguments allowing the administrator to control certain aspects of the account being created.

Disabling a User Account

Once disabled, the user no longer has access to the UForge platform.

To disable a user account use uforge user disable and specify the user account:

# uforge user disable --account kermit --url https://uforge.usharesoft.com:443 -u $ADMIN -p $PASS
Getting user [kermit] ...
Success: User kermit has been de-activated
