Creating a user

You can create users so to let them authenticate in the orchestrator web interface and manage the solution. To create a user that authenticates through a remote LDAP server, you must create an LDAP connection before following these instructions.

To create a user:

1. In the menu, go to the Users section.

   The user management page is displayed. The Users tab, which is selected by default, displays the table of users.

2. In the upper part of the page, click + User.
3. In the displayed settings area, in the Source drop-down list, select the user authentication type:
   • Local to authenticate the user using credentials stored locally in the Kaspersky SD-WAN database. This is the default setting.
   • LDAP to authenticate the user using credentials stored on a remote LDAP server.
4. In the Username field, enter the local user name or the user name on the LDAP server. The LDAP server user name is specified in the user@domain or domain\user format.
5. If necessary, enter the local user password in the Password and Password confirmation fields. The password must contain at least one uppercase A–Z character, lowercase characters, numerals, and special characters. Password length: 8 to 50 characters. To see the entered password, you can click the show button .
6. In the Role drop-down list, select the role of the user:
   • The Administrator role grants the user access to the entire solution.
   • The Tenant role grants the user access only to the tenant that is assigned to the user.
7. If necessary, select an access permission for the user in the Permissions drop-down list.
8. If you need to create a confirmation request for every action that the user undertakes, select the Request confirmation is required check box. By default, this check box is cleared, and the user can freely edit the settings of the solution components.
9. In the First name field, enter the first name of the user.
10. In the Last name field, enter the last name of the user.
11. If necessary, enter the user's email address in the Email field.
12. If necessary, enter a brief description of the user in the Description field.
13. Click Create.

The user is created and displayed in the table.
