19 In these examples, @zzzzz-tpzed-3kz0nwtjehhl0u4@ is the sample user account. Replace with the uuid of the user you wish to manipulate.
21 See "user management":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/user-management.html for an overview of how to use these commands.
25 This creates a default git repository and VM login. Enables user to self-activate using Workbench.
28 <pre><code>$ <span class="userinput">arv user setup --uuid zzzzz-tpzed-3kz0nwtjehhl0u4</span>
36 <pre><code>$ <span class="userinput">arv user unsetup --uuid zzzzz-tpzed-3kz0nwtjehhl0u4</span>
41 When deactivating a user, you may also want to "reassign ownership of their data":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/reassign-ownership.html .
43 h3(#activate-user). Directly activate user
46 <pre><code>$ <span class="userinput">arv user update --uuid "zzzzz-tpzed-3kz0nwtjehhl0u4" --user '{"is_active":true}'</span>
50 Note: this bypasses user agreements checks, and does not set up the user with a default git repository or VM login.
52 h3(#create-token). Create a token for a user
54 As an admin, you can create tokens for other users.
57 <pre><code>$ <span class="userinput">arv api_client_authorization create --api-client-authorization '{"owner_uuid": "zzzzz-tpzed-fr97h9t4m5jffxs"}'</span>
59 "href":"/api_client_authorizations/zzzzz-gj3su-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy",
60 "kind":"arvados#apiClientAuthorization",
61 "etag":"9yk144t0v6cvyp0342exoh2vq",
62 "uuid":"zzzzz-gj3su-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy",
63 "owner_uuid":"zzzzz-tpzed-fr97h9t4m5jffxs",
64 "created_at":"2020-03-12T20:36:12.517375422Z",
65 "modified_by_user_uuid":null,
67 "api_token":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
68 "created_by_ip_address":null,
71 "last_used_by_ip_address":null,
78 To get the token string, combine the values of @uuid@ and @api_token@ in the form "v2/$uuid/$api_token". In this example the string that goes in @ARVADOS_API_TOKEN@ would be:
81 ARVADOS_API_TOKEN=v2/zzzzz-gj3su-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
84 h3(#delete-token). Delete a single token
86 As a user or admin, if you need to revoke a specific, known token, for example a token that may have been leaked to an unauthorized party, you can delete it at the command line.
88 First, determine the token UUID. If it is a "v2" format token (starts with "v2/") then the token UUID is middle section between the two slashes. For example:
91 v2/zzzzz-gj3su-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
94 the UUID is "zzzzz-gj3su-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" and you can skip to the next step.
96 If you have a "bare" token (only the secret part) then, as an admin, you need to query the token to get the uuid:
99 $ ARVADOS_API_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx arv --format=uuid api_client_authorization current
100 zzzzz-gj3su-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
103 Now you can delete the token:
106 $ ARVADOS_API_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx arv api_client_authorization delete --uuid zzzzz-gj3su-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
109 h3(#delete-all-tokens). Delete all tokens belonging to a user
111 First, "obtain a valid token for the user.":#create-token
113 Then, use that token to get all the user's tokens, and delete each one:
116 $ ARVADOS_API_TOKEN=xxxxtoken-belonging-to-user-whose-tokens-will-be-deletedxxxxxxxx ; \
117 for uuid in $(arv --format=uuid api_client_authorization list) ; do \
118 arv api_client_authorization delete --uuid $uuid ; \
122 h2. Adding Permissions
124 h3(#vm-login). VM login
126 Give @$user_uuid@ permission to log in to @$vm_uuid@ as @$target_username@ and make sure that @$target_username@ is a member of the @docker@ group
129 user_uuid=xxxxxxxchangeme
130 vm_uuid=xxxxxxxchangeme
131 target_username=xxxxxxxchangeme
133 read -rd $'\000' newlink <<EOF; arv link create --link "$newlink"
135 "tail_uuid":"$user_uuid",
136 "head_uuid":"$vm_uuid",
137 "link_class":"permission",
