# Headless Authentication
|
|
|
|
Headless user accounts that cannot use the web UI to log in to Coder. This is
|
|
useful for creating accounts for automated systems, such as CI/CD pipelines or
|
|
for users who only consume Coder via another client/API.
|
|
|
|
You must have the User Admin role or above to create headless users.
|
|
|
|
## Create a headless user
|
|
|
|
<div class="tabs">
|
|
|
|
## CLI
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
coder users create \
|
|
--email="coder-bot@coder.com" \
|
|
--username="coder-bot" \
|
|
--login-type="none \
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## UI
|
|
|
|
Navigate to the `Users` > `Create user` in the topbar
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
To make API or CLI requests on behalf of the headless user, learn how to
|
|
[generate API tokens on behalf of a user](./sessions-tokens.md#generate-a-long-lived-api-token-on-behalf-of-another-user).
