User Management

Manage static Dex users through the CLI. These commands interact with the server's /users API.

List Users​

List all registered user emails:

dot-ai users list

Create a User​

Create a new static Dex user with an email and password:

dot-ai users create --email user@example.com --password secretpass

Both --email and --password are required flags.

Delete a User​

Delete a user by email:

dot-ai users delete user@example.com

The email is a required positional argument.

When to Use Static Users​

Development and testing: Static users are convenient for local development, CI pipelines, and testing environments where setting up an external identity provider is unnecessary.

Production with SSO: For production deployments, prefer configuring Dex with an external identity provider connector (LDAP, OIDC, SAML, GitHub, etc.). See the identity provider connectors guide for setup instructions.

Static users and IdP connectors can coexist — use static users as break-glass accounts alongside your SSO connector.
