+## Adding your local user to the 'pihole' group
+
+Pi-hole v6 uses a new API for authentication. All CLI commands use this API instead of e.g. direct database manipulation. If a password is set for API access, the CLI commands also need to authenticate. To avoid entering the password everytime on CLI, Pi-hole allows users which are members of the 'pihole' group to authenicate without manually entering the password (this can be disabled by setting `webserver.api.cli_pw` to `false`.)
+To add your local user to the 'pihole' group use the following command
+
+For Debian/Ubuntu/Raspberry Pi OS/Armbian/Fedora/CentOS
+
+```code
+sudo usermod -aG pihole $USER
+```
+
+For Alpine
+
+```code
+sudo addgroup pihole $USER
+```
