config user ​

Create a user, delete a user, list all users, or change a user's password:

config user create <username>
config user delete <username>
config user key generate
config user key show
config user list
config user password <username>

Note: These user accounts are operating-system accounts that exist on one or both manager nodes. They are not Yellowbrick database users.

After creating a new user, you can log into the manager node with that account and run the ybcli. New users have sudo rights to run ybcli commands, but they do not have any other sudo access on the manager node. The ybdadmin account is the only account with full sudo access.

user create

Create a new user on both manager nodes. For example:

YBCLI(4901) (PRIMARY - yb100-mgr0)> config user create bobr


Should the user have full administrator access at the system level?
Note: This will give the user account full access to all parts of the system and is generally not recommended.
Response (yes/no): no
Not enabling full administrator access for this user account.

Enter password for user bobr: 
Password: 
Enter password for user bobr again: 
Password: 

Successfully created user: bobr

User passwords must be between 8 and 16 characters long and contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, and one number.

user delete

Delete a user on both manager nodes. For example:

YBCLI(4901) (PRIMARY - yb100-mgr0)> config user delete bobr

Are you sure you want to delete user bobr from the manager nodes?
WARNING: This will delete all the data for this user on both manager nodes
Response (yes/no): yes
Successfully deleted user: bobr

Remote manager node
-------------------

Successfully deleted user: bobr

user key generate

Generate a new ssh public/private key pair for the current user. If the user is ybdadmin, key-based authentication will be set up between the manager nodes. For example:

YBCLI (PRIMARY)> config user key generate

Are you sure you want to generate a new system key for user ybdadmin?

Type yes to continue: yes

Copying key to remote manager node
Enter current password for the ybdadmin user: 
ybdadmin@nnn.nnn.n.n's password:
