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.
