About This Task
When you create a UAA instance, an admin client is automatically created for you so that you can configure your UAA instance. The admin client is assigned all the required authorities and scopes by default.
Note: The admin client is not assigned the authority to be able to change the user password by default. If you need the ability to update or change the user password, you must add the
uaa.admin
authority to your admin client. You can use the UAA command-line interface (UAAC) to add the uaa.admin
authority to your admin client. For more information on installing the command-line interface, see https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-uaac.If you prefer using the UAAC to create the users, see Using UAAC to Create Users in a UAA Instance.
Use the following procedure to create users locally through the UAA dashboard.
