Add user

Users can be added by the Account Owner or users with the iam.admin role.

You can add a control panel user or add a service user for programmatic access; more details are in the instruction User Types.

If there are any problems when adding a user, create a ticket.

Add control panel user

You can add control panel users, who will authenticate in the control panel using one of the following methods:

  • by login and password;

  • or by SSO, if you use federations.

    If you enabled automatic user creation when creating a federation on the Selectel side and you have group mapping configured, users will be created automatically upon initial SSO authentication — in this case, you do not need to add them manually.

  1. In the control panel, click IAM on the top menu.

  2. Go to the Control Panel Users section.

  3. Click Add control panel user.

  4. In the User details block:

    4.1. If the Login method field is available, select Control panel.

    4.2. In the Email field, enter an email address.

    4.3. Optional: enter a user description.

  5. In the Access settings block:

    5.1. Configure the permission by selecting:

    • access scope. If you selected the Projects access scope, select the required projects; ;
    • role. To add users with the member role, the account balance must be at least 200 ₽.

    5.2. Optional: to assign an additional permission to the user, click Add permission and repeat step 5.1.

    5.3. Optional: select a group for the user.

  6. Click Add user.

    The user will be added to the list on the Control Panel Users page with the status Not activated. An email with a link for registration by invitation will be sent to their email address. The account is activated after the email is confirmed and registration is completed.

    4.2. Введите пароль для пользователя or сгенерируйте его. После создания пользователя посмотреть пароль нельзя — можно только изменить его. Пароль должен быть не короче 20 символов and включать минимум 2:

    • one uppercase and one lowercase Latin letter (A-Z, a-z);
    • one digit (0-9);
    • one special character from the ASCII Printable 7-Bit Special Characters list:
