Add or edit a user at an organization level on-premises customers only

If you add users within an organization, you can assign them to access groups for the applications within that organization. For must Contrast installations, the default is to set roles and permissions at an organization level, however if you have users who need to access multiple organizations, add those users at a system level.

To add users:

  1. Log in to Contrast with Organization Administrator permissions.

  2. Select Organization settings in the user menu.

  3. Select Users in the left navigation.

  4. Select a user name from the list of users to edit their entry, or select Add user to add a new user.

  5. For each user you can enter:

    • Organization role: Select one of the default organization roles that apply to all applications in this organization or create a custom access group.

    • Application access groups: Select one of the default application roles that apply to all applications in this organization or create a custom access group to grant specific permissions to certain applications.

    • Access permissions: You can allow users access to the API, to the Contrast web interface and to Protect data. (Protect permissions can also be granted at a system level.)

      Tip

      If you assign someone an administrator role, be sure to grant them both API and Contrast web interface access.

  6. Select Add or Save.
