Ubuntu Manpage: sq key userid

NAME

       sq key userid - Manage User IDs

SYNOPSIS

       sq key userid add [OPTIONS]
       sq key userid revoke [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       Manage User IDs.

       Add User IDs to a key, or revoke them.

SUBCOMMANDS

sq key userid add
Add a user ID.

A user ID can contain a name, like `Juliet`, or an email address, like
`<juliet@example.org>`. Historically, a name and an email address were usually combined
as a single user ID, like `Juliet <juliet@example.org>`. However, user IDs that include
different information such as name and email address are more difficult to reason about,
so using distinct user IDs for name and email address is preferred nowadays.

`sq userid add` respects the reference time set by the top-level `--time` argument. It
sets the creation time of the user ID's binding signature to the specified time.

sq key userid revoke
Revoke a user ID.

Creates a revocation certificate for a user ID.

If `--revoker` or `--revoker-file` is provided, then that key is used to create the
revocation certificate. If that key is different from the certificate that is being
revoked, this results in a third-party revocation. This is normally only useful if the
owner of the certificate designated the key to be a designated revoker.

To revoke a user ID, the certificate must be valid under the current policy. If the
certificate is not valid under the current policy, consider revoking the whole
certificate, or fixing it using `sq cert lint` after verifying the certificate's
integrity. If the certificate is valid under the current policy, but the user ID you want
to revoke isn't, you can still revoke the user ID using `--userid-or-add`.

`sq key userid revoke` respects the reference time set by the top-level `--time` argument.
When set, it uses the specified time instead of the current time when determining what
keys are valid, and it sets the revocation certificate's creation time to the reference
time instead of the current time.

EXAMPLES

   sq key userid add
       Add a new user ID to Alice's key.

              sq key userid add --cert \
                     EB28F26E2739A4870ECC47726F0073F60FD0CBF0 --name Alice \
                     --email alice@work.example.com

   sq key userid revoke
       Retire a user ID on Alice's key.

              sq key userid revoke --cert \
                     EB28F26E2739A4870ECC47726F0073F60FD0CBF0 --userid \
                     "Alice <alice@example.org>" --reason retired --message \
                     "No longer at example.org."
