User Management

GPUStack has two user roles: Admin and User.

Admins can manage clusters, resources, models, users, and system settings.

Users can manage their own API keys and access the model APIs.

Default Admin

On bootstrap, GPUStack creates a default admin user.

The initial password is saved in <data-dir>/initial_admin_password.

In the default setup, this file is located at /var/lib/gpustack/initial_admin_password inside the server container.

You can set a custom password for the default admin by using the --bootstrap-password flag when starting GPUStack.
