Add a user for SSH Tunneling

Hi. I'm trying to use ReTool (https://retool.com/) to quickly do some database operations on a MySQL database hosted in PythonAnywhere. In order to do this, I need to create a "retool" user to connect via SSH Tunneling per their instructions (https://docs.retool.com/docs/enabling-ssh-tunnels). It doesn't look like I have admin access to my VM, so is there a way to add a user and edit their authorized_keys file?

You cannot add an additional user. If retool requires a specifically named user and you cannot change it, then it will not work with PythonAnywhere.
