How to Create Users

Prerequisites

Configuration

  1. Log in to the Cyolo Admin Portal.

  2. Navigate to the Identities > Users page.

  3. Click the Add button in the top right corner of the page.

  1. In the Add User window, enter the following information in each field:

User Profile

  • Username -- Enter the username of the user. If this user belongs to an external IdP, it must be identical to the username in the IdP.

  • First name -- Enter the first name of the user. This field is optional.

  • Last name -- Enter the last name of the user. This field is optional.

  • Email -- Enter the email address of the user. This field is optional; however, if MFA is configured, an email address is required to receive the OTP.

  • Phone Number -- Enter the phone number of the user. This field is optional; however, if MFA is configured, a phone number is required to receive the OTP.

Enrollment Details

  • Personal Desktop -- Enter the workstation IP address of the user, or another internal IP address, to log in remotely using RDP. This is an optional field. For more information on the Personal Desktop feature, refer to the section: Configuring Personal Desktop.

  • Groups (optional) -- From the drop-down menu, select a user group to add the user to the group.

  • Supervisor -- Select a user from the drop-down menu to choose the supervisor to approve the user's login to the Cyolo Application Portal. This is an optional field. Note: Selecting a supervisor here replaces the MFA option configured on the Configuration > Global Settings page. For detailed information on supervision, refer to the section: Supervision and Auditing Roles.

  • Identity Provider -- Select the IdP from the drop-down list. The default is set to local. External identity providers must be configured on the Integrations > Identity Providers page for them to be listed here. Select the IdP where the account of this user is created.

Password

  • Password - Enter the password for the user. The password must meet the constraints set in the password policy selected on the Integrations > Identity Providers > local page. The tooltip that appears when the admin clicks on this field displays the minimum password requirements as defined in the policy. For more information on password policy, refer to the section: How to Create a Password Policy.

Note: The Password option is available only if local is selected in the Identity Provider field.

  • Send email invitation -- This option sends an email to the configured email address informing the user of the account creation and inviting them to log in. The option is enabled by default and can be disabled. This option is available only if local is selected in the Identity Provider field.

  • Force changing password -- This option forces the user to set a new password when logging in to the Application Portal for the first time. The option is enabled by default and can be disabled. This option is available only if local is selected in the Identity Provider field.

  1. Click the Save button in the top right corner of the page to create the user.

Note: Users are not created until clicking the Save button in the top right corner of the page.
