Managing users

Add individuals in your organization to Guardium® Insights and configure their access privileges.

Before you begin

To see the various settings, open the main menu. Open this menu by clicking the main menu icon (main menu)) Then select Access management > User management.

Before you can add users, you must connect to at least one LDAP server.

About this task

The User management page displays the list of users that have been added to Guardium Insights. To find a user in the list, enter their name or email address in the search field (entering a part of their name or email address will also narrow down the list so you can find the user). Use the following procedure to add a user.

Procedure


    1. Click Add user to open the Find users panel. In the search field, enter the name or email address of the user that you want to add (entering a part of their name or email address will also narrow down the list so you can find the user).
    2. Locate the user in the search results, select the checkbox next to their name, and click Next.
    3. Use the Assign roles panel to select the roles that should apply to the user. Assigning roles allows you to control which parts of Guardium Insights the user will have access to (when the user authenticates to Guardium Insights, privileges will be granted to the user based on the roles that have been assigned to them).
      Note: You cannot assign a user to both the Administrator and Access manager roles. A user can only be assigned to one of these roles.
    4. Click Save to add the user.
  • To enable or disable a user:
    1. In the User management page, select the checkbox next to the user or users that you want to enable or disable.
    2. This opens a banner that allows you to click Enable user or Disable user.
    Important: When you remove or disable an LDAP connection, any users that had added from that directory will be disabled.

What to do next

When viewing the list of users that have been added, the menu next to each user allows you to perform these actions:

  • Refresh: Choose this action to refresh the user's details from the LDAP server.
  • Details: Select this to see a card that displays the user's details.
  • Edit roles: Select this to change the roles for the user. Selecting this opens a card that shows the current roles assigned to the user - select different roles, as needed, and then click Change.
  • Delete: Use this action to remove the user's access from Guardium Insights.
