3. Command Line Interface

The REANA Server offers a CLI for user account operations.

Specifically, from the CLI an administrator can create new user accounts, and retrieve users based on given filters.

By default the server docker image is set to create the administrator account on startup, which has the email info@reana.io and a token which is generated using the secrets python library.

To retrieve the administrator token you can run:

$ reana-cluster env --all

or enter the database pod:

$ kubectl exec -ti <db-pod-name> /bin/bash

access the Postgresql database:

$ psql -U reana

and get all users:

> SELECT * FROM user_;

With the administrator access token, new user creation is allowed with:

$ flask  users create --e=<email> --admin-access-token=<token>

Similarly, to retrieve information for all users:

$ flask users get --admin-access-token=<token>
