adduser Command-Line Utility

You can use the adduser command-line utility to add a user. The utility is located in the LISA_HOME\bin directory of a DevTest Server installation. To use the utility, you must have the User and Role Administration permission.

This utility has the following format:

adduser -d userid -w password [-r role] -u userid -p password [-m registry_url] 

The following options let you assign basic information to the new user:

• Use the -d or --adduser option to assign a user ID to the new user.
• Use the -w or --addpassword option to assign a password to the new user.
• (Optional) Use the -r or --rolename option to assign a role to the new user. If you do not assign a role, the user will have no permissions until a role is assigned from the Server Console.

The following options let you specify your credentials:

• Use the -u or --username option to specify your user ID.
• Use the -p or --password option to specify your password.

If the registry is on a remote computer, use the -m or --registry option to specify the registry URL.

Example

This example adds a user named user1. Because the role name has more than one word, quotation marks are used.

adduser -d user1 -w password1 -r "Load Tester" -u admin -p myadminpassword
