Create and edit database users

Create a database user and assign it a role.

Before you create a database user, you must create a data access role to assign to that user.

Create a user

To create a user:

1. Go to Data Access Control from the Redis Cloud console menu.

   

2. Select the Users tab.

   

3. Select + to create a new user.

   

4. Enter a username in the Username field.

   
   Note:

   An error occurs if a user tries to connect to a memcached database with the username admin. Do not use admin for a username if the user will be connecting to a memcached database.

5. Select a Role from the list.

   

6. Enter and confirm the user's password. ACL user passwords must be between 8 and 128 characters long.

   Then, select the check mark to save the user.

1. Go to Data Access Control from the Redis Cloud console menu.

   

2. Select the Users tab.

   

3. Point to the user and select the pencil icon when it appears.

4. Select a Role from the list.
