How do i create a chef user?

amurleopard

On installation an admin user is created but you can create additional users. chef also integrates with LDAP and AD, that would be the way you want to do it for your organization.

This is a manual way of creating a user.
The syntax is:

chef-server-ctl user-create USER_NAME FIRST_NAME [MIDDLE_NAME] LAST_NAME EMAIL 'PASSWORD' (options)

# chef-server-ctl user-create trainer Training Room1 [email protected] 'trainerslovestoshowtheirpasswordinplaintext'
