The Users management page shows all the pages that you need to let you manage authentication and authorization policies for users and groups.

Users management page — Figure 1. Users management page

General

The Users management page has these tabs:

Users
Groups
OpenAPI Keys
Active Directory
LDAP
SAML

There are four different types of user:

Local users
Active Directory users
LDAP users
SAML users

Local users

Authentication is enforced with a password, and the user is created from the Web user interface (UI).

Active Directory users

Active Directory manages authentication. User properties and groups are imported from the Active Directory. You need to configure Active Directory for it to work correctly.

LDAP users

lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) manages authentication. User properties and groups are imported from LDAP. You need to configure LDAP for it to work correctly.

SAML users

A password is not required as single sign-on (SSO) authentication is enforced through an authentication server that uses security assertion markup language (SAML). You can use the Web UI to add users, or to Import SAML users from a CSV file.
