Name parameter for Splunk Add User CLI command

Path Finder

I am creating an user form CLI
./splunk add user testuser -password passwd123 -role user -email [email protected] -name TESTUSER -auth admin:changeme

But am getting the error for the name parameter:
In handler 'users': Only one "name" parameter can be specified.

If I dont specify name parameter it makes the field NONE in splunk manager> user list
How to resolve this?

You can also use the parameter name "full-name" to define the name in place of "realname". It also serves the same purpose.

C:\Program Files\Splunk\bin> splunk add user testuser111 -password passwd123 -role user -email [email protected] -full-name TESTRAJUL -auth admin:changeme

Got the answer: -realname is the parameter.
