Create a New MCMU User (CLI)

Language:

If you use the CLI to create a user account, the subsequent user approvals must be performed using the CLI. For additional information about MCMU user concepts, see Managing MCMU User Accounts (BUI).

Log into the MCMU CLI as a primary admin, such as mcinstall.
See Log in to the MCMU CLI.
Create a new user.
```
% mcmu user -c -u username -e email -n fullname -p phonenumber -r role
```
where:
- username is a unique name for the new user. The name cannot be root or mcadmin. It must start with an alpha character. The name can contain alpha and numeric characters, and can include , '.', '-' or '_' characters.
- email is the email address for the new user.
- fullname is the first and last name for the new user.
- phonenumber is the new user's phone number (digits only. No special characters).
- role is one of these values:
  - primary
  - secondary
  - tenant_admin
  - auditor
  For role descriptions, see User Roles.
For example:
```
% mcmu user -c -u jsmith -e joe.smith@example.com -n Joe Smith -p 8881112222 -r primary
[INFO    ] Log file path : mc3-n1:/var/opt/oracle.minicluster/setup/logs/mcmu_082216_193715.log
[INFO    ] User jsmith has been created, please ask the admin and supervisor to run the command in New User Approval Request email to approve
```
An email is sent to the primary admin and supervisor accounts. The email contains a secure key that is required to approve the new user.

Note - The user account is created, but not activated until the primary admin and the supervisor approves the new user.
Consider your next action.
- Approve the new user. See Approve a New MCMU User (CLI).
- Reject the new user. See Reject a New MCMU User (CLI).
- Check the approval and rejection status of new users. See List MCMU User Approval and Rejection Status (CLI).
