# Manage users

The `funkwhale-manage` command line interface includes commands for user management. Use these commands to automate managing users from the command line.

All users-related commands are available under the `funkwhale-manage fw users` namespace.

## Create users

You can create users with the `funkwhale-manage` command line interface. There are different ways to create users depending on what approach you want to take.

### Create a user interactively

:sync: debian

```{code-block} sh
venv/bin/funkwhale-manage fw users create
```

:::

:::{tab-item} Docker
:sync: docker

```{code-block} sh
docker compose run --rm api funkwhale-manage fw users create
```

:::
::::

### Create a user with a random password

::::{tab-set}

:::{tab-item} Debian
:sync: debian

### Delete a user's account, including all references in the database

This means the username can be reused.
