From the dashboard, an owner can create a workspace for any user. How can we do that from cli?
coder create --help does not show any option to specify the owner

Usage: coder create [flags] [name]

Create a workspace

Options
      --parameter-file string, $CODER_PARAMETER_FILE
          Specify a file path with parameter values.

      --rich-parameter-file string, $CODER_RICH_PARAMETER_FILE
          Specify a file path with values for rich parameters defined in the
          template.

      --start-at string, $CODER_WORKSPACE_START_AT
          Specify the workspace autostart schedule. Check coder schedule start
          --help for the syntax.

      --stop-after duration, $CODER_WORKSPACE_STOP_AFTER
          Specify a duration after which the workspace should shut down (e.g.
          8h).

  -t, --template string, $CODER_TEMPLATE_NAME
          Specify a template name.

  -y, --yes bool
          Bypass prompts.

To stop and update workspaces, the name of the workspace can be given as user/workspace-name. Maybe that could also be used to create workspaces? Something like coder create -t templateName user/workspace-name?

Currently this is hard-coded to Me

coder/cli/create.go

Line 146 in 6d2079d

workspace, err := client.CreateWorkspace(inv.Context(), organization.ID, codersdk.Me, codersdk.CreateWorkspaceRequest{

I think an owner flag is appropriate 👍

@alexander-dammeier that is an interesting idea 🤔.

Or instead of using --create flag, we can use user/workspace notation for the workspace name, if no user is provided, then default to using me as suggested by @alexander-dammeier
