Create users

Create users and assign access control roles.

Prerequisites

Before you create other users:

1. Review the access control overview to learn how to use role-based access control (RBAC) to manage users' cluster access and database access.

2. Create roles you can assign to users. See Create roles with cluster access only, Create roles with database access only, or Create roles with combined access for instructions.

Add users

To add a user to the cluster:

1. From the Access Control > Users tab in the Cluster Manager UI, select + Add user.

   

2. Enter the name, email, and password of the new user.

   

3. Assign a Role to the user to grant permissions for cluster management and data access.

   

4. Select the Alerts the user should receive by email:

   • Receive alerts for databases - The alerts that are enabled for the selected databases will be sent to the user. Choose All databases or Customize to select the individual databases to send alerts for.

   • Receive cluster alerts - The alerts that are enabled for the cluster in Cluster > Alerts Settings are sent to the user.

5. Select Save.

Assign roles to users

Assign a role, associated with specific databases and access control lists (ACLs), to a user to grant database access:

1. From the Access Control > Users tab in the Cluster Manager UI, you can:

   • Point to an existing user and select to edit the user.

   • Select + Add user to create a new user.

2. Select a role to assign to the user.

   

3. Select Save.

Next steps

Depending on the type of the user's assigned role (cluster management role or data access role), the user can now:

• Connect to a database associated with the role and run limited Redis commands, depending on the role's Redis ACLs.

• Sign in to the Redis Enterprise Software Cluster Manager UI.

• Make a REST API request.
