+## Adding a user
+
+Create a user for John Smith, with `jsmith` as username and OTP as the supported
+user authentication.
+
+```python
+api.Command.user_add("jsmith", givenname="John", sn="Smith", ipauserauthtype="otp")
+```
+
+## Finding a user
+
+Find all users in the `admins` group that match `bob` as search criteria.
+
+```python
+api.Command.user_find(criteria="bob", in_group="admins")
+```
+
+## Showing user information
+
+Show all available information about the admin user.
+
+```python
+api.Command.user_show("admin", all=True)
+```
+
+## Modifying a user
+
+Modify a user's email address.
+
+```python
+api.Command.user_mod("bob", mail="bob@example.org")
+```
+
+## Deleting a user
+
+Delete a user.
+
+```python
+api.Command.user_del("bob")
+```
+
+The `preserve` option can be used to save this user's entry on deletion. 
+This way, the user can undeleted by running the `user_undel` command.
+
+
+## Adding a certificate for a user
