[Expert@lab-cp-mds:0]# mgmt_cli -r true show administrators filter "radius" limit 400 offset 0 details-level "full" --domain 'System Data' --format json | jq '.objects[] | [.name, .domain."domain-type", ."authentication-method", ."radius-server".name] |@csv' -r | grep Any | awk -F "," '{print $1}' | tr -d '"'
TestUser

[Expert@lab-cp-mds:0]# mgmt_cli -r true set user name "TestUser" color "blue" --domain 'System Data' --format json {
"code" : "generic_err_object_not_found",
"message" : "Requested object [TestUser] not found"

In the first command, you're using "show administrators"
In the second command, you're using "set users"

These are not the same thing.

This is the command you need to use for setting administrators.

Right

The first command is to show you the users indeed does exist

The second command is to show the error "Requested object [TestUser] not found"

Yes, "users" and "administrators" are different things...and have different API calls.
They also require being in different domains (administrators must be in 'System Data').
