# New-RDMUser

### Synopsis

Create a new user instance.

### Syntax

#### Password

```
New-RDMUser [-Administrator] [-BypassAzureADValidationEvenIfUnsupported] [-Login <string>]
 [-SetUser] [-ForcePromptAnswer <DialogResult[]>] [-Email <string>] [-Password <securestring>]
 [<CommonParameters>]
```

### Description

Create a user instance. The instance has not yet been saved. Use the SetUser parameter or assign the result to a variable then call "Set-RDMUser $s" to save the user.

### Examples

#### Example 1

```powershell
PS C:\> $user = New-RDMUser -AuthenticationType SqlServer -Login 'PSTest' -Password (ConvertTo-SecureString -String 'password' -AsPlainText -Force) -SetUser
```

Create & save new user.

#### Example 2

```powershell
PS C:\> $user = New-RDMUser -Login 'domain\username' -IntegratedSecurity -SkipCreateSQLServerLogin; $user.UserType = 'User'; Set-RDMUser $user
```

Before everything, the administrator add the login/user to the database. Create the user domain\username with integrated security. The SkipCreateSQLServerLogin switch indicates the administrator will manually add the information in the database. Change the user type from read-only to user and save the user.

#### Example 3

```powershell
PS C:\> $user = = New-RDMUser -AuthenticationType SqlServer -Login 'PSTest' -Password (ConvertTo-SecureString -String 'password' -AsPlainText -Force);
        $user.UserInfo.UserProfile.Company = 'UsersCompany';
        $user.UserInfo.UserProfile.Department = 'UsersDepartment';
        $user.UserInfo.UserProfile.Address = '123 UsersAddress';
        $user.UserInfo.UserProfile.Phone = '555-0100';
        Set-RDMUser -User $user
```

Create a user and add some details about him before saving him.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/powershell/powershell-commands/new-rdmuser.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
