Do you mean to use ACL?  
If yes, there is a `login` method on both `DgraphClient` and `DgraphAsyncClient` in Java client.  
Also, you can look at `dgraph acl` command to find out how to create user, change password etc.  
Here are the ACL docs: [https://dgraph.io/docs/enterprise-features/#turn-on-acls](https://dgraph.io/docs/enterprise-features/#turn-on-acls)

By the way, ACL is an enterprise only feature.

As mentioned here [Enterprise Features, Dgraph Core Values, Open Source, and My Thoughts - #12 by mrjn](http://discuss.hypermode.com/t/enterprise-features-dgraph-core-values-open-source-and-my-thoughts/7399/12)

You can use “[Poor Man’s ACL](https://dgraph.io/docs/deploy/#securing-alter-operations)”. which is open source. But ACL can be better for some cases.
