upload
******


Description
===========

Uploads an API signing key for the specified user.

Every user has permission to use this operation to upload a key for
*their own user ID*. An administrator in your organization does not
need to write a policy to give users this ability. To compare,
administrators who have permission to the tenancy can use this
operation to upload a key for any user, including themselves.

**Important:** Even though you have permission to upload an API key,
you might not yet have permission to do much else. If you try calling
an operation unrelated to your own credential management (e.g.,
*ListUsers*, *LaunchInstance*) and receive an "unauthorized" error,
check with an administrator to confirm which IAM Service group(s)
you're in and what access you have. Also confirm you're working in the
correct compartment.

After you send your request, the new object's *lifecycleState* will
temporarily be CREATING. Before using the object, first make sure its
*lifecycleState* has changed to ACTIVE.


Usage
=====

   oci iam user api-key upload [OPTIONS]


Options
=======


--user-id [text]
----------------

The OCID of the user. [required]


--key [text]
------------

The public key.  Must be an RSA key in PEM format. Either this option
or --key-file must be specified


--key-file [filename]
---------------------

A file containing the public key.  Must be an RSA key in PEM format.
Either this option or --key must be specified


--from-json [text]
------------------

Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the
file://path-to/file syntax.

The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate
a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names
are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to
camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id --> compartmentId), while the
values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the
sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that
accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists
in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line
specified value will be used.

For examples on usage of this option, please see our "using CLI with
advanced JSON options" link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Conte
nt/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions
