SYNOPSIS

set-account [--full-name <FULLNAME>] [--active|--inactive] \ [--add-email <EMAIL>] [--delete-email <EMAIL> | ALL] \ [--add-ssh-key - | <KEY>] \ [--delete-ssh-key - | <KEY> | ALL] \ [--http-password <PASSWORD>] <USER>

DESCRIPTION

Modifies a given user’s settings. This command can be useful to deactivate an account, set HTTP password, add/delete ssh keys without going through the UI.

It also allows managing email addresses, which bypasses the verification step we force within the UI.

ACCESS

Caller must be a member of the privileged Administrators group.

OPTIONS

<USER>

Required; Full name, email-address, SSH username or account id.

Names containing spaces should be quoted in single quotes ('). This most likely requires double quoting the value, for example --full-name "'A description string'".

--active

Set the account state to be active.

--inactive

Set the account state to be inactive. This prevents the user from logging in.
