About users

A user signs in to Ixiea and receives brokered access to assets through authorizations. Each user has a unique username and email globally, and holds system roles (and organization roles where multi-org is enabled) that control what they can administer or audit.

Access the Users page

  1. Open Administration → Users in the left navigation.
  2. The Users tab lists accounts in the current organization. Use search, quick filters, or authentication filters to narrow the table. Switch to the Groups tab to manage user groups.
  3. To view or change an existing user, click the ··· icon on the row and choose Edit.

Create a user

  1. On the Users page, click + Create.
  2. Complete the create form:

    Basic

    • Name, Username, and Email — required and must be unique where noted
    • Groups — optional user groups to join at creation time

    Authentication

    • Reset link will be generated and sent to the user — emails a password-setup link (default)
    • Set password — define the password now; enable Password must be changed during next login to force a reset on first sign-in
    • MFA — Disabled, Enabled, or Force enabled
    • Source — Local, LDAP/AD, or CAS

    Security

    • System roles — required (User, System Admin, or System Auditor)
    • Organization roles — required in multi-org deployments (Organization Admin, Organization Auditor, or Organization user)
    • Active — must be checked for the user to sign in
    • Expiration date — optional automatic lockout date

    Other

    • Phone — optional; can be used for SMS MFA
    • Description — optional notes
  3. Click Submit or Save & Continue to add another user.

Clone a user

Cloning pre-fills a new user from an existing account — roles, groups, and most settings carry over. Asset authorizations are not copied.

  1. On the Users page, locate the source user.
  2. Click ··· in the Actions column and choose Clone.
  3. Change at least Name, Username, and Email so the new account is unique.
  4. Review authentication and security, then click Submit.

Grant asset access separately under Quickstart or Administration → Authorizations.

Invite users to an organization

Use Invite when the user already exists in Ixiea but is not yet a member of the current organization.

  1. On the Users page, click Invite.
  2. Search and select one or more users, then assign an Organization role (Organization Admin, Organization Auditor, or Organization user).
  3. Click Submit. Invited users appear in the organization user list with the role you selected.

For users who do not exist yet, use + Create instead. See also Invite or remove users.

From the same row menu you can also:
