Using the CLI to Perform Administrator Actions

If you have administrator privileges for your Files.com account, you can use the CLI App to perform administrator actions.

For example, you can create a user account with this command:

files-cli users create --username="amy" --password="S0meRea11yLongP@ssw0rd" --authentication-method="password" --name="Amy Anybody" --company="Amy’s Company Name" --notes="Some notes about Amy." --user-root="/users/amy"

You can also configure various items, such as Folder Settings, using the CLI App.

For example, you can configure automatic new user folders using the following command:

files-cli behaviors create --path="/path/to/folder" --behavior="create_user_folders" --value='{ "permission":"full", "additional_permission":"bundle", "existing_users":false, "group_id":1, "new_folder_name":"username", "subfolders":[]}'
