A list of multiple users with different credentials.

Properties

Name	Description	Type	Default	Reloadable
username	Name of the user.	string	-	No
password	Password of the user. This can be a free-text value (not recommended) or a bcrypted value using the nats server passwd CLI command.	string	-	No
account	Account that leaf nodes authenticating as this user are bound to. Each user in the list can name a different account. The account must be declared in the accounts block or the server refuses to start. Leave it unset to bind to the global account; the account on the surrounding authorization block does not apply to users listed here.	string	-	No
proxy_required	Reject this user's leaf node connections if they did not arrive through a PROXY protocol header. Setting proxy_required on the surrounding authorization block applies the requirement to every user regardless of what they set here.	boolean	false	Yes*
