Authorizing User

The same steps are used to authorize internal users, external users, LDAP users, and SSO users.

Grant Permission

You can assign permission for a user via the following options:

  • Initial permissions: View organization information

  • Granting policies

  • Assigning user to user groups. This option will enable the user to inherit all the permissions that are assigned to the user groups.


Note

The initial permissions for ordinary users are to log in to EnOS and select the organization without authorization, and by default they have access to basic information about the organization. Contact your organization administrator if you need to view basic information about your organization.

To grant policies:

  1. In the Policies tab, click Assign Policies.

  2. In the pop-up window, select the policies to assign to this user and click Save.

  3. Click Save to create the user.


To add a user to groups:

  1. In the Add User to Group tab, click Add to User Group.

  2. In the pop-up window, select the user group to be assigned to this user and click Save.

  3. Click Save to create the user.

Batch Create and Authorize Internal Users

  1. In the EnOS Management Console, click IAM > User from the left navigation menu.

  2. In the Internal User tab, click Import User.

  3. As per the interface instructions, download the import template, and fill in the local template file with the new User Name, Send Password Method, Mobile Number, Email, as well as the optional information such as Policy and User Group.

    • User Name: The user name.

    • Send Password Method: Mobile or Email, the user password will be automatically generated by the system and sent to the user through the selected method.

    • Mobile Number: If you choose Send Password Method by Mobile, this is required. The format of the phone number is: country code - phone number, e.g. 65-XXXXXXXX.

    • Email: If you choose to send your password as Email, this is required.

    • Policy: Optional. Fill in the permission policy that has been granted for the user, that is, the name of the authority, for example, Administrator / EAP administrator / custom authority.

    • User Group: Optional. Fill in the user group name for the user.

  4. Click Upload.

    Note

    You can assign policies and user groups to the users via the template or assign them after importing.
