Creating users?

Is it possible to create new users in openBalena? The superuser is created at quickstart, but what about more users?
I can’t find anything in the docs or the cli docs.
Thanks!

Hi @edorgeville , I believe its not possible as openBalena is not designed to be multi-tenant, its one of the features that differentiates the paid platform.

Gotcha. Would be nice to add to the FAQ, in the “What’s the difference between openBalena and balenaCloud?” section. Or even maybe a comparison table?

Yes, i definitely agree. I actually thought it was there already, but I couldn’t find it, so its probably not

I created an issue to track this and add a comparison table to the readme https://github.com/balena-io/open-balena/issues/62

Hi Erwan, We just merged a PR that explains the differences between openBalena and the paid platform a bit better. (Check it out](https://github.com/balena-io/open-balena#differences-between-openbalena-and-balenacloud)
