To create a user in Grafana using the grafana-cli command line interface, you can use the following command:

grafana-cli admin reset-admin-password <new_password>

However, the grafana-cli does not support creating users directly. Instead, you typically need to create users through the Grafana UI or by using the Grafana API.

If you want to create a user via the API, you can use a POST request to the /api/admin/users endpoint. Here's an example using curl:

curl -X POST http://<your-grafana-instance>/api/admin/users \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your_api_token>" \
  -d '{
        "login": "newuser",
        "email": "[email protected]",
        "password": "newpassword",
        "name": "New User",
        "role": "Viewer"  // or "Editor" or "Admin"
      }'

Replace <your-grafana-instance>, <your_api_token>, and the user details with those appropriate for your setup.

Make sure you have the necessary permissions to create users when using the API.
