Create, tag, rotate, and revoke Turnkey users and API keys with tk, and manage the local profiles that hold their credentials. Use to add a non-root user, attach a tag, register or delete an API key, switch a profile to a new key, or remove a user; not for expiring session keys, which have their own workflow.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Managing identities Users, tags, registered API keys, and the local profiles that hold private keys are one workflow because a rotation touches all four. Flag forms come first; `--input-json` is the escape hatch for fields the flags do not cover. ## Reference - [resources](../../docs/resources.md): `user`, `user tag`, and `api-key` records and JSON parameter shapes. - [authentication](../../docs/authentication.md): profiles and credential files. ## Rules - Register public keys only. A private key is generated where it will be used and never crosses a transcript or a command argument. - A constrained user stays non-root. Root quorum membership is a separate organization setting; never grant it to make a denial go away. - Preserve access until the replacement is verified: rotate by registering, verifying with `whoami`, then deleting the old key. - Deleting a local profile forgets a file path. It revokes nothing. ## Instructions Inputs: the acting root profile (`admin`), the target user's name or id, and for a new key the machine that will hold it. ### Create a user 1. **Generate the credential where the user will run.** On that machine, with no profile yet: …

How to install
mdr add tkhq/tk/managing-identities@sha256:a43b8dd33cfd0f5dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.efc1ce8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
