Problems understanding the CURL -X POST command

I'm trying to create a user using Appdynamics' Configuration API

I'm trying to use this curl command but am not sure what the parameters after --user are.

curl -X POST --user user1@customer1:secret http://<controller host_ip>/<other segments>

This is AppDynamics specific, a better understanding of tenancy or which my users are, or where i can create users would be helpful. Also should I be using the pem key to communicate with my controller host.

Here's the link to the Documentation page i'm referring to; https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO44/Configuration+API#ConfigurationAPI-CreateandModifyAppDynamicsUsers

    In the case of AppDynamics' Configuration API (which is a subset of their Controller API), user1@customer1:secret are your account credentials in the format documented here:
