Docs Self-Managed Reference rpk Commands rpk cloud rpk cloud auth rpk cloud auth create This is documentation for Self-Managed v23.2, which is no longer supported. To view the latest available version of the docs, see v24.2. rpk cloud auth create Create an rpk cloud authentication (auth). This command creates a new rpk cloud auth. The default SSO login does not need any additional auth values (the token is populated on login) so you can just create an empty auth. You can also use --set to set key=value pairs for client credentials. The --set flag supports autocompletion, suggesting the -X key format. If you begin writing a YAML path, the flag will suggest the rest of the path. rpk always switches the current cloud auth to the newly created auth.
