Add, Edit, and Delete Local User Accounts

AtScale installs with local authentication enabled. User accounts are stored in an embedded Apache directory service, and synchronized to the AtScale database. With local authentication, users are managed through the Design Center.

Before you begin

If you do not want to use local authentication to manage users, see Using External Authentication to Manage User Access and Security.

warning

Restriction: Use AtScale's local directory service for testing only. Do not use it in production environments. This directory service is not meant to support the types of workloads that are common to production environments. Before using AtScale in production, configure your AtScale organization to use an external directory service, such as Microsoft Active Directory, another LDAP service, or Google G Suite Directory.
