jf rt user-create --help

jf rt user-create <username> <password> <email> --url=<artifactory-url> --access-token=<your-token>

Use jf rt user-create to create a single user in Artifactory. For bulk user provisioning, use jf rt users-create with a CSV file instead.

Common scenarios:

Service accounts: Create dedicated service accounts for CI/CD pipelines
Testing: Create temporary users for integration testing (delete them after with jf rt users-delete)
Automation: Part of an onboarding script that creates a user, adds them to groups, and sets permissions

Requires admin privileges on the Artifactory instance.
The <password> argument is the user's login password, not the CLI's authentication password. The --password flag (in Options) is for authenticating the CLI to Artifactory.
Use --replace to overwrite an existing user with the same username.
Passwords are sent over HTTPS. Ensure your Artifactory instance uses TLS.
