CREATE USER

Creates a user with the specified name and password.

Syntax:

CREATE USER user_name [option]
  • user_name: The name of the user. It may contain lowercase Latin letters and digits.
  • option — command option:
    • PASSWORD 'password' — creates a user with the password password.
    • PASSWORD NULL — creates a user with an empty password (default).
    • NOLOGIN - disallows user login (user lockout).
    • LOGIN - allows user login (default).

Note

The scope of the commands CREATE USER, ALTER USER, and DROP USER does not extend to external user directories. Keep this in mind if users with third-party authentication (e.g., LDAP) are connecting to YDB. For example, the CREATE USER command does not create a user in the LDAP directory. Learn more about YDB's interaction with the LDAP directory.
