Function RM_CreateModuleUser

src/module.cpp:6685–6693

Creates a Redis ACL user that the module can use to authenticate a client. * After obtaining the user, the module should set what such user can do * using the RM_SetUserACL() function. Once configured, the user * can be used in order to authenticate a connection, with the specified * ACL rules, using the RedisModule_AuthClientWithUser() function. * * Note that: * * * Users created here are

 * wants to invalidate the user to define a new one with different
 * capabilities. */
