Adding users to internal LDAP
You can create users with custom permissions and roles, and add them to the internal LDAP server.
If you are trying to add users and are not authorized to add users, then you can temporarily add users by providing credentials of a user with LDAP Manager permissions. This session remains active and lets you add users for a timeout period of 5 mins. During the active session, if you need to revoke this user and return to your session, you can click Remove.
Perform the following steps to add users to internal LDAP. In these steps, we will use the name “John Doe” as the name of the user being added to the internal LDAP.
In the Web UI, navigate to Settings > Users > User Management.
Click Add User to add new users.
- Click Cancel to exit the adding user screen.
