# Gns3util auth set default user

## gns3util auth set-default-user

Mark a stored user as the default for a standalone GNS3 server

### Synopsis

Mark one of the saved users as the default for a standalone GNS3 server.
When no --user flag is given on subsequent commands, the default user for that
server URL is used automatically.

Requires --server (or the global -s flag) to identify which server to update.
If \[username] is omitted a fuzzy picker opens so you can choose interactively.

```
gns3util auth set-default-user [username] [flags]
```

### Examples

```
  gns3util auth set-default-user alice -s http://gns3.example.com
  gns3util auth set-default-user -s http://gns3.example.com   # opens picker
```
