mc admin user enable

Syntax

The mc admin user enable command enables a MinIO user on the target MinIO deployment.

Clients can only use enabled users to authenticate to the MinIO deployment. Users created using mc admin user add are enabled by default.

To manage external Identity Provider users, see OIDC or AD/LDAP.

The following command enables user myuser on the myminio MinIO deployment:

mc admin user enable myminio myuser

The command has the following syntax:

mc [GLOBALFLAGS] admin user enable    \
                            ALIAS     \
                            USERNAME
  • Brackets [] indicate optional parameters.

  • Parameters sharing a line are mutually dependent.

Example

  • Replace ALIAS with the alias of the MinIO deployment.

Behavior

S3 Compatibility

The mc commandline tool is built for compatibility with the AWS S3 API and is tested with MinIO and AWS S3 for expected functionality and behavior.

MinIO provides no guarantees for other S3-compatible services, as their S3 API implementation is unknown and therefore unsupported. While mc commands may work as documented, any such usage is at your own risk.
