NAME

sxacl-userclone - clone an existing user

SYNOPSIS

sxacl userclone [OPTIONS] <username> <clonename> sx://[profile@]cluster

DESCRIPTION

sxacl userclone creates a clone of an existing user, which has the same type and privileges but a different authentication key. The clones can be used to access the same account from different devices to eliminate the need of changing the keys on all of them, in case one gets lost or compromised.

OPTIONS

-h, --help

Print help and exit

--full-help

Print help, including hidden options, and exit

-V, --version

Print version and exit

-a, --auth-file=FILE

Store authentication key in a given file (instead of printing it).

-b, --batch-mode

Disable additional information and only print the authentication key.

--force-key=KEY

By default, the authentication key is automatically generated for the clone. With this option one can force the use of an old key (obtained with sxacl-usergetkey(1)), when recreating the clone on a new or another cluster. Only a key that was previously generated for the same clonename will be accepted.

-c, --config-dir=PATH

Path to the SX configuration directory (default: ~/.sx)

-D, --debug

Enable debug messages.

EXAMPLES

To create a clone of the user 'joe' run:
sxacl userclone joe joe.mobile sx://admin@cluster
