In these examples, @zzzzz-tpzed-3kz0nwtjehhl0u4@ is the sample user account. Replace with the uuid of the user you wish to manipulate. See "user management":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/activation.html for an overview of how to use these commands. h3. Setup a user This creates a default git repository and VM login. Enables user to self-activate using Workbench.
$ arv user setup --uuid zzzzz-tpzed-3kz0nwtjehhl0u4
h3. Deactivate user
$ arv user unsetup --uuid zzzzz-tpzed-3kz0nwtjehhl0u4
When deactivating a user, you may also want to "reassign ownership of their data":{{site.baseurl}}/admin/reassign-ownership.html . h3. Directly activate user
$ arv user update --uuid "zzzzz-tpzed-3kz0nwtjehhl0u4" --user '{"is_active":true}'
Note: this bypasses user agreements checks, and does not set up the user with a default git repository or VM login. h3(#create-token). Create a token for a user As an admin, you can create tokens for other users.
$ arv api_client_authorization create --api-client-authorization '{"owner_uuid": "zzzzz-tpzed-fr97h9t4m5jffxs"}'
{
 "href":"/api_client_authorizations/zzzzz-gj3su-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy",
 "kind":"arvados#apiClientAuthorization",
 "etag":"9yk144t0v6cvyp0342exoh2vq",
 "uuid":"zzzzz-gj3su-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy",
 "owner_uuid":"zzzzz-tpzed-fr97h9t4m5jffxs",
 "created_at":"2020-03-12T20:36:12.517375422Z",
 "modified_by_client_uuid":null,
 "modified_by_user_uuid":null,
 "modified_at":null,
 "user_id":3,
 "api_client_id":7,
 "api_token":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
 "created_by_ip_address":null,
 "default_owner_uuid":null,
 "expires_at":null,
 "last_used_at":null,
 "last_used_by_ip_address":null,
 "scopes":["all"]
}
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:
ARVADOS_API_TOKEN=v2/zzzzz-gj3su-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
h3(#delete-token). Delete a token If you need to revoke a token, for example the token is leaked to an unauthorized party, you can delete the token at the command line. 1. 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:
v2/zzzzz-gj3su-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
the UUID is "zzzzz-gj3su-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy" and you can skip to the next step. If you have a "bare" token (only the secret part) then, as an admin, you need to query the token to get the uuid:
$ ARVADOS_API_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx arv api_client_authorization current
{
 "href":"/api_client_authorizations/x33hz-gj3su-fk8nbj4byptz6ma",
 "kind":"arvados#apiClientAuthorization",
 "etag":"77wktnitqeelbgb4riv84zi2q",
 "uuid":"zzzzz-gj3su-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy",
 "owner_uuid":"zzzzz-tpzed-j8w1ymjsn4vf4v4",
 "created_at":"2020-09-25T15:19:48.606984000Z",
 "modified_by_client_uuid":null,
 "modified_by_user_uuid":null,
 "modified_at":null,
 "user_id":3,
 "api_client_id":1,
 "api_token":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
 "created_by_ip_address":null,
 "default_owner_uuid":null,
 "expires_at":null,
 "last_used_at":null,
 "last_used_by_ip_address":null,
 "scopes":[
  "all"
 ]
}
2. Now use the token to delete itself:
$ ARVADOS_API_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx arv api_client_authorization delete --uuid zzzzz-gj3su-yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
h2. Adding Permissions h3. VM login Give @$user_uuid@ permission to log in to @$vm_uuid@ as @$target_username@
user_uuid=xxxxxxxchangeme
vm_uuid=xxxxxxxchangeme
target_username=xxxxxxxchangeme

read -rd $'\000' newlink <

h3. Git repository

Give @$user_uuid@ permission to commit to @$repo_uuid@ as @$repo_username@

user_uuid=xxxxxxxchangeme
repo_uuid=xxxxxxxchangeme
repo_username=xxxxxxxchangeme

read -rd $'\000' newlink <
