How to set username for the scratch org when you create it? When I create a scratch org using command sfdx force:org:create -s -f config/project-scratch-def.json -a ebikes I was able to get the scratch org Id along with different user name instead of different user name I want my user name to be set.

How is it possible?

  • Do you mean that you want to use an existing user name from an existing Salesforce org? – Thomas Taylor Jul 9 '19 at 18:28
  • No. I when I give the above command I want new scratch org to be created but with the user name I need.But When I give the above command new scratch org is created but with the random user name and is redirected to some other salesforce account , it is not mine actually. – user70573 Jul 11 '19 at 4:33

My assumption is that this is not possible.

If you need a specifically named user, create that user after the scratch org has been created.

Adding --json to sfdx force:org:create returns a JSON object with the username field in the username property if your problem is just that you need the name in later logic.

  • actually when I push source into that newly generated scratch org, its taking me to different salesforce account (url) which I dont need.I am new to Salesforce.I am working on Lightning web component basics(push and deploy web component files) – user70573 Jul 9 '19 at 10:26
  • I not only need name I specify, I need my account to be opened when I give sfdx:org:open. It should be redirected to my account. – user70573 Jul 11 '19 at 4:35
  • That's just not how scratch orgs work. If you want to use a Developer or Sandbox org, then you authenticate to that with the JWT or Web auth methods and then use force:source: deploy & force:source:retrieve to move the metadata in and out. – Thomas Taylor Jul 12 '19 at 22:45
