To add a regular user, enter the following command:
maas $PROFILE users create username=$USERNAME \
email=$EMAIL_ADDRESS password=$PASSWORD is_superuser=0
All the options are necessary. Note that stipulating a password on the CLI may be a security hazard, depending on your environment.
How to add an SSH key for a user
Assuming a public key exists in /home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa.pub - add a key with the following command:
ubuntu@maas:~$ maas $PROFILE sshkeys create key="$(cat /home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa.pub)"
Success.
