Managing users

There are two classes of Deis users: normal users and administrators.

• Users can use most of the features of Deis - creating and deploying applications, adding/removing domains, etc.
• Administrators can perform all the actions that users can, but they can also create, edit, and destroy clusters.

The first user created on a Deis installation is automatically an administrator.

Promoting users to administrators

You can use the deis perms command to promote a user to an administrator:

$ deis perms:create john --admin
