Managing a Cluster
==================
Clusterio clusters are managed through the master server by using the
`clusterioctl` command line interface which is invoked by running
`npx clusterioctl <command>` in the clusterio directory. This document
uses the shorthand `ctl> foo` to indicate `npx clusterioctl foo` should
be executed. Mandatory parameters are shown in `<angles bracket>` and
optional pameters are in `[square brackets]`.
Before `clusterioctl` can be used it needs to be configured for the
cluster it will connect to. The easiest way to do this is to run
`npx clusteriomaster bootstrap create-ctl-config <username>` on the
master server, which creates the necessary `config-control.json` for
managing the cluster as the given user.

Users
-----
Clusterio automatically creates user accounts for all players that join
an instance when save patching is enabled. These accounts are used to
store per player data shared between instances, like if the player
should be whitelisted, admin or banned.
### List users
ctl> user list
Lists all user accounts in the cluster along with some data for each.
### Create User
ctl> user create <name>
Creates a new empty user account for the given Factorio player. Note
that case matters here. This is usually not required as user accounts
are created automatically for players that join instances with save
patching enabled.
### Promote User to Server Admin
ctl> user set-admin <name> [--revoke] [--create]
Promotes the user given to in-game admin on instances with the
`sync_adminlist` option enabled. If the `--revoke` switch is used the
user is removed from the adminlist.
Since admin status is a part of the account data the account must exist
for this to succeed, passing `--create` will create the account if it
does not exist.
**Note:** Being a server admin does not grant any access to manage the
cluster. See [set-roles](#set-cluster-roles) for adding roles which
grant access to managing the clusetr.
### Whitelist User
ctl> user set-whitelisted <name> [--remove] [--create]
Add the user given to the whitelist on instances with the
`sync_whitelist` option enabled. If the `--remove` switch is used the
user is removed from the whitelist.
Since whitelisted status is a part of the account data the account must
exist for this to succeed, passing `--create` will create the account if
it does not exist.
### Ban User
ctl> user set-banned <name> [--reason <message>] [--pardon] [--create]
Ban user in-game from instances with the `sync_banlist` option enabled.
Reason is a message that will be shown to the user when attemption to
log in. If the `--pardon` switch is used it removes the ban.
Since ban status is a part of the account data the account must exist
for this to succeed, passing `--create` will create the account if it
does not exist.
Note: This bans the user from logging in to Factorio servers in the
cluster, it does not revoke access to any cluster management they might
have, see next section on setting roles for revoking tha.
### Set Cluster Roles
ctl> user set-roles <name> [roles...]
Replaces the roles the user has in the cluster with a new list of roles.
Calling with an empty roles argument will remove all roles from the
user.
By default there's a roled named Cluster Admin which grants access to
everything and a role named Player which grants a limited read access to
the cluster, see [the section on roles](#roles) for more information
about setting up roles and permissions.
### Delete user
ctl> user delete <name>
Deletes everything stored on the master server for this user.
Note: If the player is banned from the cluster this will effectively
unban them, as the ban status is stored with the user account.
Note: If the player joins the cluster again a new account will be made
for them automatically.
