💅 OC CREATE USER(1) — the manual page, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, you're looking at the OpenShift CLI User Manuals page for oc create user, ported over back in June 2016 and honestly it's still serving. Let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

oc create user — manually create a user (only needed if automatic creation is disabled)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

oc create user [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This command can be used to create a user object. That's it, that's the whole thing 💖

So here's the tea: typically, users are created automatically during login. Like, the system just handles it, no notes. But if automatic creation is disabled (by using the lookup mapping method), then users must be created manually — that's you, you're the manual creation now 🫶

heads up: corresponding identity and user identity mapping objects must also be created to allow logging in as the created user. no cap, you need all of them or the login just won't slay 💀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • --allow-missing-template-keys=true — if true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in the template. only applies to golang and jsonpath output formats, iykyk
  • --dry-run="none" — must be "none", "server", or "client". if client strategy, only print the object that would be sent, without sending it. if server strategy, submit server-side request without persisting the resource 👑
  • --full-name="" — display name of the user
  • -o, --output="" — output format. one of: (json, yaml, kyaml, name, go-template, go-template-file, template, templatefile, jsonpath, jsonpath-as-json, jsonpath-file)
  • --save-config=false — if true, the configuration of current object will be saved in its annotation. otherwise, the annotation will be unchanged. this flag is useful when you want to perform kubectl apply on this object in the future ✨
  • --show-managed-fields=false — if true, keep the managedFields when printing objects in JSON or YAML format
  • --template="" — template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. the template format is golang templates [⟨http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview⟩]

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

these are the ones you didn't ask for but got anyway, and honestly? iconic 💅

  • --as="" — username to impersonate for the operation. user could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace
  • --as-group=[] — group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups
  • --as-uid="" — UID to impersonate for the operation
  • --as-user-extra=[] — user extras to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple values for the same key
  • --cache-dir="/homeless-shelter/.kube/cache" — default cache directory 🏠
  • --certificate-authority="" — path to a cert file for the certificate authority
  • --client-certificate="" — path to a client certificate file for TLS
  • --client-key="" — path to a client key file for TLS
  • --cluster="" — the name of the kubeconfig cluster to use
  • --context="" — the name of the kubeconfig context to use
  • --disable-compression=false — if true, opt-out of response compression for all requests to the server
  • --insecure-skip-tls-verify=false — if true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity. this will make your HTTPS connections insecure 😭 (fr fr, be careful with this one)
  • --kubeconfig="" — path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests
  • --kuberc="" — path to the kuberc file to use for preferences. this can be disabled by exporting KUBECTL_KUBERC=false feature gate or turning off the feature KUBERC=off

  • --profile-output="profile.pprof" — name of the file to write the profile to
  • --request-timeout="0" — the length of time to wait before giving up on a single server request. non-zero values should contain a corresponding time unit (e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h). a value of zero means don't timeout requests ⏳
  • -s, --server="" — the address and port of the Kubernetes API server
  • --tls-server-name="" — server name to use for server certificate validation. if it is not provided, the hostname used to contact the server is used
  • --token="" — bearer token for authentication to the API server
  • --user="" — the name of the kubeconfig user to use
