Adding a User via the CLU

If your user account has the Group Administrator role, you can add a user account to DME. 

To add a user:

1. Make sure the user has an NIH user account, and that account has been assigned to a DOC. 

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

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

3. Run the following command:

   dm_register_user <userId> <description.json> 

   The following table describes each parameter:

   Parameter	Description
   <userId>	Specify the user's NIH login user ID.
   <description.json>	The name of the JSON file containing additional data parameters for the command, as follows:

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