Local Users

Settings → Administration → Local Users allows you to create or modify local users as well as to modify LDAP and SSO accounts.

Add Local User

To add a new user, click + Add local user, fill out the User Profile form and click Create user.

To access IP Fabric, the new user must have one or more Roles assigned.

Users with no Roles assigned will get the API_INSUFFICIENT_RIGHTS error upon logging in or accessing the API.

To add or modify Roles, follow the instructions at Roles.

List of Users

The Users table lists all local and non-local (LDAP and SSO) users including their details and allows you to modify or delete them. (Exception: A currently logged-in user cannot delete their account.)

Edit LDAP/SSO User

LDAP/SSO users have Roles assigned via the LDAP/SSO configuration, hence it’s not possible to modify their Roles in the UI (unlike local users).

  1. To edit an LDAP/SSO user, find the user in the Users table and click the Edit icon. (Optionally, you may select No in the Local user column header to show only non-local users.)
