Manage Users

To enable user access to Seeker, define and manage users in the system.

  1. In the main menu, click (Settings) > User Management > Users.
    A list of currently defined users is displayed, including the predefined administratoruser in the super administrator role.
  2. Click + Add user or Edit in the user's row in the list, and enter or edit the properties:
    PropertyDescription
    Type User type:
    • Seeker
    • External (LDAP/SAML 2.0): available only if an LDAP/Active Directory or SAML 2.0 has been configured.
    User name A unique name for the user. For the External type, must be an existing LDAP or SAML 2.0 user name.
    First name and Last name User's first and last names. If defined, will appear instead of the user name in various UI locations.

    For LDAP users, these names will be automatically copied from their LDAP accounts.
    Password Enter or change the user's password. It should be at least 8 characters long and include at least one lowercase and uppercase letter, number and symbol (? ! @ # etc.). If the user type is External, the password is managed externally and can't be changed here.
    Super Administrator Select this option to grant the user unlimited access to all the Seeker features and projects. In this case, you can't select any other roles.
    Groups From the dropdown list, select one or more groups to assign the user.
    Global roles From the dropdown list, select one or more global roles to assign to the user.
  3. Click Save.
  4. To delete any user apart from the predefined administrator, click Delete in the user's row in the list.
