Create a Normal User

kubectl config set-credentials alice --username=alice --password=somepassword

This command adds the user to .kube/config and kubectl will use basic HTTP authentication for these users.

Add a User via a Certificate

A user can authenticate against the Kubernetes cluster by being issued a certificate by the Kubernetes cluster and then present the certificate to the API call as the Certificate Header, or through kubectl.
