Something that just happened to me and caused me some headaches   I have set up a new Linux RabbitMQ server and used a shell script to set up my own custom users  not guest     The script had several of those  code  blocks   rabbitmqctl add user test test rabbitmqctl set user tags test administrator rabbitmqctl set permissions -p   test                  Very similar to the one in Gabriele s answer  so I take his code and don t need to redact passwords    Still I was not able to log in in the management console  Then I noticed that I had created the setup script in Windows  CR LF line ending  and converted the file to Linux  LF only   then reran the setup script on my Linux server       and was still not able to log in  because it took another 15 minutes until I realized that calling add user over and over again would not fix the broken passwords  which probably ended with a CR character   I had to call change password for every user to fix my earlier mistake   rabbitmqctl change password test test    Another solution would have been to delete all users and then call the script again
