Synopsis

Use this command to create a user in the given managed analytics service. There are two ways to define the creation parameters:

Using only CLI flags:

For Clickhouse engine, you can also specify roles:

ovhcloud cloud managed-analytics user create <service_id> --name myuser --roles role1,role2

For OpenSearch engine, you can specify ACLs:

ovhcloud cloud managed-analytics user create <service_id> --name myuser --acls "logs-.*:write" --acls "metrics-.*:read"

2. Using your default text editor:

You will be able to choose from several examples of parameters. Once an example has been selected, the CLI will open your default text editor to update the parameters. When saving the file, the creation will start.

Note that it is also possible to override values in the presented examples using command line flags like the following:
