1. Make sure the user has an NIH user account. 

2. In your file system, create a JSON file that specifies the user's first name, last name, and default base path, as follows:

   Code Block
   { "firstName": "John", "lastName": "Doe", "defaultBasePath" : "/FNLCR", "doc" : "FNLCR" }

3. Run the following command:

   Code Block
   dm_register_user [-hoptional parameters] <userId> <description.json>

   The following table describes each parameter:

   Parameter	Description
   [-h]	If you want to print a usage (help) message for this command, specify this option.
   [-D <REST-response>]	An optional parameter, specifying a path and filename in your file system. The system always creates a response file: If you specify this parameter, the system saves the response from the server to the specified file in the specified location. If you omit this parameter, the system saves the file as register_user-response-header.tmp in your home directory.
   [-o <status-file>]	An optional parameter, specifying a path and filename in your file system. The system always creates a status file:  If you specify this parameter, the system saves the status to the specified file in the specified location. If you omit this parameter, the system saves the status as register_user-response-message.json.tmp in your home directory.  If the command is successful, the status file is empty.
   <userId>	Specify the user's NIH user ID.
   <description.json>	A path to the JSON file that specifies the information about the user.

   The system creates the new user with the user role. (To create a user with the group administrator role, contact NCIDataVault@mail.nih.gov.)
