Manage FileVault-Authorized Users

2018-Feb-17

The fdesetup utility can be used to manage which users are authorized to unlock FileVault encrypted boot volumes:

fdesetup add -usertoadd <username>

You will be prompted for the password of an existing FileVault-authorized user account, or the FileVault recovery key, and the password of the user account in question to be added.
