[jira] [Commented] (AIRFLOW-294) Add support for creating users with password (password_auth backend)

["Taylor Edmiston (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-294?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16165267#comment-16165267 ] 

Taylor Edmiston commented on AIRFLOW-294:
-----------------------------------------

I'd like to bump this.

I tried to create users through the web app for the first time today vs the CLI (it's a pain to tunnel into our box that the airflow scheduler runs on) and experienced the same issue.

I searched AIRFLOW-294 in PRs on GitHub and got 0 hits.  Is this something that a PR would be welcome for?

Are other people normally creating all of their users from the command line or some other way?

> Currently the workflow to add new users through the UI is to create a new user. This form takes the username and the email id of the user but there seems to be no place to provide the password (unless I am mistaken) or for that matter to specify if the user is a super user. This makes the scope of this auth backend limited as new users need to be creating using db commands instead of the UI. Could one of the maintainers shed some light to this?
