Command Structure

auth-user-mgr <command> [options]

Main Commands

sync

Synchronize users with the Authentik instance:

auth-user-mgr sync -c <config_file> -u <users_file_or_directory>

For detailed help on any command with additional flags such as --dry and --no-email:

auth-user-mgr --help
auth-user-mgr sync --help

Configuration

The application's configuration and the list of managed users are stored in YAML files. You can find sample configuration files in the config/ directory.

Note: There are two ways how to store your users inventory:

1. In a single file, as shown in config/users.sample.yaml
2. In multiple files in one directory, as shown in config/users.sample/

API permissions

Especially for automated syncs, it is recommended to set up a system user in Authentik and create an API token for them. The following permissions are required:

• User: Can view User
• Group: Can view Group
• Group: Add user to group
• Group: Remove user from group
• Group: Can add Group
• Flow: Can view Flow
• Invitation: Can view Invitation
• Invitation: Can add Invitation
• Invitation: Can delete Invitation
