Assigning Individual Users to Roles
AtScale has a set of pre-defined system permissions that control what actions a user can do in the AtScale application. You grant these permissions to users by grouping the permissions into roles, and then assigning users to roles.
Before you begin
- Ensure that the necessary roles have been created.
- If you are using local authentication for your users, ensure that the users that you want to assign roles to have been added to AtScale.
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.
- If you are using external authentication for your users, ensure that groups in your directory service are mapped to AtScale roles, and that the user accounts that you want to assign roles are synchronized to AtScale.
About this task
After you add a user to an organization, that user is not listed on the Users page for the organization until assigned a role. A user must be assigned a role in an organization to be a member of that organization and to do anything within that organization.
Procedure
