rpk acl user

Manage SASL users.

If SASL is enabled, a SASL user is what you use to talk to Redpanda, and ACLs control what your user has access to. See rpk acl --help for more information about ACLs, and rpk acl user create --help for more information about creating SASL users. Using SASL requires setting enable_sasl: true in the redpanda section of your redpanda.yaml.

rpk acl user [command]
