# stackkit setup

> Set up the owner account of an applied application

Set up the owner account of an applied application.

Run a Plan-declared setup action on the existing local application. Read the private credential JSON fields and file path from the selected application's setup guide or status action. Credentials are never written into lifecycle evidence. Re-running after interruption re-observes the application before completing the same pending setup operation.

```bash theme={null}
stackkit setup <workload> [flags]
```

| `--operation-id`        | string | —       | Resume a pending setup operation; defaults to the current pending setup or a new ID                        |
| `--owner-approve`       | bool   | —       | Approve this Plan-bound application setup                                                                  |

# Create the Files owner from a workspace-relative credentials file of your choice
stackkit setup files --owner-approve --credentials-file private/files-owner.json
