Command reference

This reference is generated from the aac command-line parser: every command, flag, default and exit code below comes from the CLI itself. Each page shows the synopsis, the arguments with their type, default and required state, the output modes, the exit codes and the related commands. aac <command> --help prints the synopsis and arguments in the terminal.

The aac platform CLI: guided setup, profiles, tenant administration, single sign-on, trust-anchor inspection and chain audit — headless-first, JSON output by default.
