# `user:create`

Creates a new user directly from the CLI - useful for bootstrapping the first account on a fresh
instance, or scripting test users, without going through the registration endpoint.

Both arguments are required: `identifier` is the user's unique identifier (typically their email,
depending on the instance's configured unique identifier field) and must not already be in use,
and `password` is the user's plaintext password, which is hashed before being stored. On success,
the command prints the new user's UUID.

The command exits with a failure status if a user with the given identifier already exists; it
does not update or merge into an existing account.

php bin/console user:create --help
