Inspired by the simple example at https://docs.cloudfoundry.org/adminguide/cli-user-management.html
I tried this:

cf create-user john pswd
Creating user john...
FAILED
Error creating user john.
Server error, status code: 403, error code: insufficient_scope, message: Insufficient scope for this resource

I don't understand the error message. I'll have to search.

Hi @johnyesberg. Are you logged into the cf CLI as an admin user? It seems like you do not have the permissions to create users.

johnyesberg commented

Thanks @ljarzynski . I had enough privilege to create the uaa. But I suspect as you say I don't have sufficient permission to create users. If I understood the permissions/scopes model better, I'd be tempted to make a pull request on that guide to add an "Errors you may encounter" section. Can you recommend a reference for me?
