+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+``soledad-create-userdb`` [-h] `dbname`
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+``soledad-create-userdb`` is a command used by Soledad Server to create user
+databases for use with the LEAP Platform.
+
+The current database backend used by the LEAP Platform is CouchDB. This command
+will parse the Soledad Server configuration file to find the path for a netrc
+file with the administrative CouchDB credentials. See the **FILES** section
+below for more information on this.
+
+This command is meant to be run by the `soledad` user in the system, which
+should have special privileges so it can read the CouchDB administrative
+credentials from the netrc file pointed by the Soledad Server configuration
+file.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+`dbname`
+ The name of the database to be created.
+
+-h, --help
+ Print a help message and exit.
+
+FILES
+=====
+
+/etc/soledad/soledad-server.conf
+ The Soledad Server configuration file. The path to a netrc file with CouchDB
+ administrative credentials should be set in this file with the option
+ ``admin_netrc`` under the section ``[soledad-server]``.
+
+ENVIRONMENT
+===========
+
+SOLEDAD_SERVER_CONFIG_FILE
+ If set, the command will parse the configuration file pointed by this variable
+ instead of the default one in */etc/soledad/soledad-server.conf*.
+
+SOLEDAD_BYPASS_AUTH
+ If set, the command will not try to load the CouchDB administrative
+ credentials and URI from a configuration file. Instead, it will use
+ ``http://127.0.0.1:5984/`` as URI (without username and password).
