rpk acl user create

Create a SASL user.

This command creates a single SASL user with the given password, optionally with a custom mechanism. SASL consists of three parts: a username, a password, and a mechanism. The mechanism determines which authentication flow the client will use for this user/pass.

Redpanda currently supports two mechanisms: SCRAM-SHA-256, the default, and SCRAM-SHA-512, which is the same flow but uses sha512 rather than sha256.

Using SASL requires setting enable_sasl: true in the redpanda section of your redpanda.yaml. Before a created SASL account can be used, you must also create ACLs to grant the account access to certain resources in your cluster. See the acl help text for more info.
