# User administration (AER 2.26)

## Add a user

New users can navigate to your local Anaconda Repository web page and sign themselves up for an account, or the administrator can add them using the command line:

    anaconda-server-create-user --username "jsmith" --password "abc123DEF"  --email "jsmith@acme.com"

NOTE: Replace jsmith, abc123DEF, and jsmith@acme.com with the actual username, password, and email address of the new user.

## Resending welcome emails to new users

To send emails Anaconda Repository must have the email settings configured.

If a user reports that they did not receive their welcome email after registering on your local Anaconda Repository web page, it may have been caught in a spam filter. An administrator can regenerate and manually send this email.

Resend welcome email:

1. Log into your Anaconda repository administrative account.
2. Navigate to the following url: `http://your.anaconda.repository:<port>/admin/resend_email/password_reset`
3. Click the “Confirmation” tab.
4. Enter the user’s email address and re-generate the email template.
5. Send the email to the user.

## Resetting user passwords

If a user forgets their password, an administrator can request a reset link to provide to the user.

To send emails Anaconda Repository must have the email settings configured.

1. Go to the following url: `http://your.anaconda.repository:<port>/admin/resend_email/password_reset`
2. Select the “Password Reset” tab.
3. Enter the user’s email address.
4. The graphical user interface will generate a password reset link.
5. Email the link to the user.

Administrators can also reset passwords without sending emails:

    anaconda-server-admin reset-password jsmith

NOTE: Replace “jsmith” with the username whose password you want to reset.
