title: tctl CLI reference
description: Comprehensive reference of subcommands, flags, and arguments for the tctl CLI tool.
---
`tctl` is a CLI tool that allows a cluster administrator to manage all resources
in a cluster, including nodes, users, tokens, certificates, and devices.
`tctl` can also be used to modify the dynamic configuration of the cluster, such as
creating new user roles or connecting to trusted clusters.
## Authentication
Before running `tctl` commands, administrators must authenticate to a Teleport
cluster. This section explains how `tctl` authenticates to the cluster.
<Tabs>
<TabItem scope={["enterprise", "oss"]} label="Self-Hosted">
### On a remote host with an identity file
`tctl` can authenticate with a user-provided identity file. The Teleport Auth
Service signs an identity file when a user runs `tctl auth sign` or
`tsh login --out=<output-path>`, and the user can include the path to the
identity file in the `--identity` flag when running `tctl` commands.
When using the `--identity` flag, the user must provide the `--auth-server` flag
with the address of an Auth Service or Proxy Service so `tctl` knows which
cluster to authenticate to.
### On the same host as the Teleport Auth Service
If there is a Teleport configuration file on the host where `tctl` is run,
`tctl` attempts to authenticate to the Auth Service named in the configuration
file using an identity stored in its local backend.
`tctl` only authenticates using this method if an identity file is not provided.
<Admonition type="note">
Note that when a `tctl` command is run locally on the Auth Service, the audit
logs will show that it was performed by the Auth Service itself.
To provide an accurate audit trail, it is important to limit direct SSH access
to the Auth Service with
[Access Controls](../../access-controls/introduction.mdx) and ensure that
admins use `tctl` remotely instead.
</Admonition>
### On a remote host after running `tsh login`
If `tctl` cannot find a local Teleport configuration file or a user-provided
identity file, it attempts to load the user's `tsh` profile to authenticate to
the cluster. The `tsh` profile is created when a user runs `tsh login`.
`tctl` reads the `TELEPORT_CONFIG_FILE` environment variable to determine if
a Teleport configuration file is present. If you are using your `tsh` profile to
authenticate `tctl`, you must ensure that one of these conditions is true:
- `TELEPORT_CONFIG_FILE` is blank
- No file exists at `/etc/teleport.yaml`
Otherwise `tctl` will attempt to connect to a Teleport cluster on the machine,
which could result in the error,
`ERROR: open /var/lib/teleport/host_uuid: permission denied`.

## tctl acl get
Gets and displays information about a particular access list.
```code
$ tctl acl get <id>
```
## tctl acl ls
Lists Access Lists on the cluster.
```code
$ tctl acl ls
```
## tctl acl users add
Adds a user to an access list.
```code
$ tctl acl users add <access-list-name> <user> [<expires>] [<reason>]
```
## tctl acl users ls
Lists the users in an access list.
```code
$ tctl acl users ls <access-list-name>
```
## tctl acl users rm
Removes a user from an access list.
```code
$ tctl acl users rm <access-list-name> <user>
```
## tctl alerts ack
Temporarily acknowledges a cluster alert, preventing the alert from being
displayed to users. Acknowledgements last for 24 hours by default. Users
will begin seeing the alert again when the acknowledgement expires.
```code
$ tctl alerts ack [<flags>] <id>
```
### Arguments
- `<id>`: the ID of the cluster alert to acknowledge
### Flags
| Name | Default Value(s) | Allowed Value(s) | Description |
| - | - | - | - |
| `--ttl` | 24h | Any duration | Time duration to acknowledge the alert for |
| `--clear` | none | | Clear an existing alert acknowledgement |
| `--reason` | none | | The reason for suppressing this alert |
### Examples
Suppress the cluster alert notifying users that an upgrade is available:
```code
$ tctl alerts ack --reason="upgrade scheduled" upgrade-suggestion
Successfully acknowledged alert 'upgrade-suggestion'. Alerts with this ID won't be pushed for 24h0m0s.
```
Clear an existing alert acknowledgement:
```code
$ tctl alerts ack --clear upgrade-suggestion
```
## tctl alerts ack ls
Lists alert acknowledgements.
```code
$ tctl alerts ack ls
ID Reason Expires
------------------ ---------------------- --------------------
upgrade-suggestion "upgrade is scheduled" Wed Apr 12 16:52 UTC
```
## tctl alerts create
Creates cluster alerts. Cluster alerts can be displayed to Teleport users
in the web UI or upon logging via `tsh`.
```code
$ tctl alerts create [<flags>] <message>
```
### Arguments
- `<message>`: The message for the alert to display
### Flags
| Name | Default Value(s) | Allowed Value(s) | Description |
| - | - | - | - |
| `--severity` | `low` | `low`, `medium`, `high` | Alert severity |
| `--ttl` | none | Any duration | Optional expiry for alert (alert does not expire if no TTL is specified) |
| `--labels` | none | any | A list of labels to attach to the alert. |
While any labels can be applied to an alert, there are several internal labels that can be used to configure
the behavior of alerts:
- `teleport.internal/alert-on-login: yes`: ensures that the alert is displayed to users upon login
- `teleport.internal/alert-permit-all: yes`: ensures that the alert is displayed to all users
If no labels are specified, `tctl` will automatically add both of these labels.
### Examples
```code
$ tctl alerts create \
--severity=low \
--ttl=4h \
"The system is under maintenance, functionality may be limited."
```
## tctl alerts list
Lists cluster alerts. This command can also be invoked as `tctl alerts ls`.

```
## tctl edit
Modify a Teleport resource using your preferred text editor.
```code
$ tctl edit <resource-type/resource-name>
```
The text editor is selected by checking the following, in order of precedence:
- the `TELEPORT_EDITOR` environment variable
- the `VISUAL` environment variable
- the `EDITOR` environment variable
- defaulting to `vi`
`tctl` will fetch the resource from the backend and open it in the selected editor.
When the editor process terminates, `tctl` will push the updates to the Teleport cluster.
To abandon the edit, close the editor without saving the file.
Some graphical editors like VS Code launch a background process rather than running
in the foreground. This prevents `tctl` from properly detecting when the editor
process terminates. To work around this, check whether your editor supports a "wait"
option that waits for files to be closed before terminating. For example, to edit a
Teleport resource with VS Code, you can set `TELEPORT_EDITOR="code --wait"`.
**Note:** Renaming resources with `tctl edit` is not supported since Teleport resources
often refer to other resources by name. To rename a resource, we recommend you:
- fetch the resource with `tctl get` and redirect the output to a file
- change the name of the resource in the file
- save the new resource with `tctl create -f`
- update any references to the old resource
### Arguments
- `<resource-type/resource-name>` The resource to edit
- `<resource type>` The type of the resource \[for example: `user,cluster,token`]
- `<resource name>` The name of the resource
### Global flags
These flags are available for all commands `--debug, --config` . Run
`tctl help <subcommand>` or see the [Global Flags section](#tctl-global-flags).
### Examples
```code
# edit the sre role
$ tctl edit role/sre
# edit the alice user with the nano editor
$ TELEPORT_EDITOR=nano tctl edit user/alice
```
## tctl get
Print a YAML declaration of various Teleport resources:
```code
$ tctl get [<flags>] <resource-type/resource-name>,...
```
### Arguments
- `<resource-type/resource-name>` The resource to get
- `<resource type>` The type of the resource \[for example: `user,cluster,token,device`]
- `<resource name>` The name of the resource
### Flags
| Name | Default Value(s) | Allowed Value(s) | Description |
| - | - | - | - |
| `--format` | | `yaml, json` or `text` | Output format |
| `--with-secrets` | none | none | Include secrets in resources like certificate authorities or OIDC connectors |

### Examples
1. Generate an OIDC auth connector configuration called `myauth`. Two mappings from OIDC claims to roles are defined:
- members of `admin` group will receive `access`, `editor` and `auditor` roles.
- members of `developer` group will receive `access` role.
The values for `--secret`, `--id` and `--issuer-url` are provided by the IdP.
```code
$ tctl sso configure oidc -n myauth -r groups,admin,access,editor,auditor -r group,developer,access \
--secret IDP_SECRET --id CLIENT_ID \
--issuer-url https://idp.example.com
```
2. Generate an OIDC auth connector with the Okta preset, enabling the `groups` scope and mapping the `okta-admin` group to roles `access`, `editor`, `auditor`.
Issuer URL is set to match a custom Okta domain.
```code
$ tctl sso configure oidc --preset okta --scope groups -r groups,okta-admin,access,editor,auditor \
--secret IDP_SECRET --id CLIENT_ID \
--issuer-url dev-123456.oktapreview.com

```
## tctl sso configure saml
Configure the SAML auth connector, optionally using a preset.
The flag `--attributes-to-roles/-r` can be provided multiple times.
To avoid errors when pasting XML to a YAML file, we encourage the usage of the flag `--entity-descriptor`/`-e`.
```code
$ tctl sso configure saml -e entity_desc.xml -r attr,value,role1 [<other-flags>]
```
### Arguments
This command accepts no arguments.
### Flags
Mandatory flags: `--name`, `--attributes-to-roles`, `--entity-descriptor`. These flags may become non-mandatory when other flags are present; see table below for details.
| Name | Required? | Description |
|-----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `-p/--preset` | | Preset. One of: `okta`, `onelogin`, `ad`, `adfs`. |
| `-n/--name` | Yes, unless `--preset` is given. | Connector name. |
| `-e/--entity-descriptor` | Yes, unless `--sso`, `--acs`, `--cert` and `--issuer` are also given. | Set the Entity Descriptor. Valid values: file path, URL, XML content. Supplies configuration parameters as a single XML document instead of individual elements. |
| `-r/--attributes-to-roles` | Yes, at least one occurrence must be present. | Sets attribute-to-role mapping using format `attr_name,attr_value,role1,role2,...`. Repeatable. |
| `--display` | | Sets the connector display name. |
| `--issuer` | | Sets identity provider issuer. |
| `--sso` | | URL of the identity provider's SSO service. |
| `--cert` | | Path to your IdP's certificate PEM file. Your IdP signs responses using this certificate. |
| `--acs` | | URL for the assertion consumer service on the service provider (Teleport's side). |
| `--audience` | | Uniquely identifies our service provider. |
| `--service-provider-issuer` | | Issuer of the service provider (Teleport). |

| `--signing-cert-file` | | A file with request certificate. Must be used together with `--signing-key-file`. |
| `--assertion-key-file` | | A file with key used for securing SAML assertions. Must be used together with `--assertion-cert-file`. |
| `--assertion-cert-file` | | A file with cert used for securing SAML assertions. Must be used together with `--assertion-key-file`. |
| `--provider` | | Sets the external identity provider type, enabling workarounds. Examples: ping, adfs. |
| `--ignore-missing-roles` | | Ignore missing roles referenced in `--attributes-to-roles`. |
Supported presets:
| Name | Description | Display |
|------------|--------------------------------------|-----------|
| `okta` | Okta | Okta |
| `onelogin` | OneLogin | OneLogin |
| `ad` | Azure Active Directory | Microsoft |
| `adfs` | Active Directory Federation Services | ADFS |
### Global flags
These flags are available for all commands: `--debug, --config`. Run
`tctl help <subcommand>` or see the [Global Flags section](#tctl-global-flags).
### Examples
1. Generate a SAML auth connector configuration called `myauth`. Two mappings from SAML attributes to roles are defined:
- members of `admin` group will receive `access`, `editor` and `auditor` roles.
- members of `developer` group will receive `access` role.
The IdP metadata will be read from `entity-desc.xml` file.
```code
$ tctl sso configure saml -n myauth -r group,admin,access,editor,auditor -r group,developer,access -e entity-desc.xml
```
2. Generate a SAML auth connector configuration using the `okta` preset. The choice of preset affects the default name and display attribute, and may apply IdP-specific tweaks.
Instead of an XML file, a URL was provided to the -e flag, which will be fetched by Teleport during runtime.
```code
$ tctl sso configure saml -p okta -r group,dev,access -e https://dev-123456.oktapreview.com/app/ex30h8/sso/saml/metadata
```
3. Generate a configuration and immediately test it using the `tctl sso test` command:
```code
$ tctl sso configure saml -p okta -r group,developer,access -e entity-desc.xml | tctl sso test
```
## tctl sso test
Perform an end-to-end test of an SSO authentication flow using the provided auth connector definition.
The command supports all auth connector types: `github`, `oidc` and `saml`. The latter two require Teleport Enterprise.
```code
$ tctl [<global-flags>] sso test [<auth-connector.yaml>]
```
The testing consists of running a single end-to-end authentication request using the provided auth connector definition.
Once the request is finished, the results will be printed to standard output along with context-specific diagnostic information.
The test process is safe from side effects in that:
- it will not change the list of configured auth connectors
- the audit log will clearly state the login attempts as "test" ones
- there will be no certificates issued for the authenticated user
<Admonition
type="note"
title="Important"
>
To use this command, you must have access to the `github_request`, `oidc_request`, and `saml_request` resources (depending on the type of connector being tested).
If you receive a "permission denied" error, ensure that you have access to the following resources in one of your Teleport roles:
```yaml
- resources: [github_request]
verbs: [list,create,read,update,delete]
- resources: [oidc_request]
verbs: [list,create,read,update,delete]
- resources: [saml_request]
verbs: [list,create,read,update,delete]
```
</Admonition>
### Arguments
- `[<filename>]` Connector resource definition file. Optional. Empty for stdin.
### Flags
This command defines no flags.
### Global flags
These flags are available for all commands: `--debug, --config`. Run
`tctl help <subcommand>` or see the [Global Flags section](#tctl-global-flags).
### Examples
Test the auth connector from `connector.yaml`:
```code
$ tctl sso test connector.yaml
```
The command is designed to be used in conjunction with the `tctl sso configure` family of commands:
```code
$ tctl sso configure ... | tctl sso test
```
The pipeline may also utilize `tee` to capture the connector generated with `tctl sso configure`. This will save the connector in `connector.yaml`:
```code
$ tctl sso configure ... | tee connector.yaml | tctl sso test
```
You can test an existing auth connector by combining the command with `tctl get`:
```bsh
$ tctl get saml/your-connector-name --with-secrets | tctl sso test
````
<Admonition
type="note"
title="Important"
>
Make sure to include `--with-secrets` flag, or the exported auth connector will not be testable.
