Usage: tctl [<flags>] <command> [<args> ...]
Admin tool for the Teleport Infrastructure Identity Platform
Flags:
-d, --[no-]debug Enable verbose logging to stderr
-c, --config=CONFIG Path to a configuration file [/etc/teleport.yaml] for an Auth Service
instance. Can also be set via the TELEPORT_CONFIG_FILE environment
variable. Ignored if the auth_service is disabled.
--auth-server=AUTH-SERVER ...
Attempts to connect to specific auth/proxy address(es) instead of local
auth [127.0.0.1:3025] ($TELEPORT_AUTH_SERVER)
-i, --identity=IDENTITY Path to an identity file. Must be provided to make remote connections
to auth. An identity file can be exported with 'tctl auth sign'
($TELEPORT_IDENTITY_FILE)
--[no-]insecure When specifying a proxy address in --auth-server, do not verify its TLS
certificate. Danger: any data you send can be intercepted or modified by
an attacker.
--mfa-mode=auto Preferred mode for MFA assertions. ($TELEPORT_MFA_MODE) (one of: auto,
cross-platform, platform, sso, browser)

acl reviews create Submit a new review for a given access list.
acl reviews ls List past audit history for a given access list.
acl rm Delete an Access List.
acl update Update an existing access list. Each flag you pass replaces that field (no
merge or append), so list-valued flags like --members or --logins overwrite
the whole list; anything you omit is left unchanged.
For an access list created with an access type, resource flags (--node-labels, etc.) edit the
supporting roles.
acl create Create an access list.
Use --access-type to have Teleport create the access list's supporting
roles for you. The --access-type value controls how members are granted
access. Possible values are:
standing members receive persistent access to the resources set below.
access-request members must request that access; owners approve.
The supporting roles are built from the resource flags you set. The available
resource flags (grouped by target) are:
SSH servers --node-labels, --logins
Databases --db-labels, --db-users, --db-names
Kubernetes --kubernetes-labels, --kubernetes-users, --kubernetes-groups
Windows desktops --windows-labels, --windows-logins
Git servers --github-orgs
AWS Identity Center --aws-ic-assignments
Web applications --app-labels, --aws-role-arns, --azure-identities
--gcp-service-accounts, --mcp-tools
If --access-type is omitted, a plain access list is created with whatever
grants you set directly (--member-grant-roles, etc.) — there are no
auto-generated supporting roles.
