 ## Adding new users using a user.props file

+Adding users via the `user.props` will require disabling existence checks on GMS using the `METADATA_SERVICE_AUTH_ENFORCE_EXISTENCE_ENABLED=false` environment variable or using the API to enable the user prior to login.
+The directions below demonstrate using the API to enable the user.

 To define a set of username / password combinations that should be allowed to log in to DataHub (in addition to the root 'datahub' user),
 create a new file called `user.props` at the file path `${HOME}/.datahub/plugins/frontend/auth/user.props` within the `datahub-frontend-react` container
