Manage Users

This page describes how to add, delete, and configure user information from within the Sysdig Monitor or Sysdig Secure UI.

Users added in Sysdig Monitor will appear in the full list of users for both Sysdig Monitor and Sysdig Secure if both products are in use. However, users will not have login access to Sysdig Secure until they are added to a Sysdig Secure team.

Prerequisites

Only Admin users can configure user account information.

For on-premises environments, you may need to have pre-configured your SMTP parameters in your Kubernetes installation configmap.

Create a User

  1. Log in to Sysdig Monitor or Sysdig Secure as administrator.

  2. Select Settings from the user menu.

  3. Select Users.

  4. Click Add User.

The new user appears in the list visible in the Users tab. Their status is listed as Pending until the invitation is accepted.

Edit User Information

Once you have added a user, you can edit their information to assign roles, teams, and permissions.

Admin privileges cannot be assigned until the invitation has been accepted, and the user has logged into the interface for the first time. They can, however, be added to additional teams or have team-based roles assigned. For more information on configuring teams roles, refer to Manage Teams and Roles.
