Create User Resource

Resources are created with functions called constructors. To learn more about declaring and configuring resources, see Resources.

Constructor syntax

new User(name: string, args: UserArgs, opts?: CustomResourceOptions);
@overload
def User(resource_name: str,
         args: UserArgs,
         opts: Optional[ResourceOptions] = None)

@overload
def User(resource_name: str,

         backend: Optional[str] = None,
         namespace: Optional[str] = None,
         policies: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None)
func NewUser(ctx *Context, name string, args UserArgs, opts ...ResourceOption) (*User, error)
public User(string name, UserArgs args, CustomResourceOptions? opts = null)
