Creating a user

To create a user account:

1. In the KUMA web interface, open Settings → Users.

   In the right part of the Settings section the Users table will be displayed.

2. Click the Add user button and set the parameters as described below.
   • In the Name field, enter the user name. The length of the string must be 1 to 128 Unicode characters.
   • In the Login field, enter a unique user name for the user account. Must contain from 3 to 64 characters (only a–z, A–Z, 0–9, . \ - _).
   • In the Email field, enter the unique email address of the user. Must be a valid email address.
   • In the New password field, enter the password to the user account. The password must satisfy the following requirements:
     • 8 to 128 characters long. Starting with version 3.2.x, 16 to 128 characters long.
     • At least one lowercase character.
     • At least one uppercase character.
     • At lease one numeral.
     • At least one of the following special characters: !, @, #, %, ^, &, *
     • Sequences of three or more identical characters are forbidden.

   The user must change the password upon the first login to the KUMA web interface. Subsequently, each user must regularly change their password in accordance with corporate policies, but at least once every three months.

   • In the Confirm password field, enter the password again for confirmation.
   • Disabled—select this check box if you want to disable a user account. By default, this check box is cleared.
   • Under Tenants for roles, use the Add field buttons to specify which roles the user will perform in which tenants. A user can be assigned different roles in different tenants; multiple roles can be assigned within the same tenant.
   • In the Space sets drop-down list, select check boxes next to one or more space sets to which you want to grant access. If the user does not have a space set selected, access is granted to the default space set.
3. Select or clear the check boxes that control access rights and user capabilities:
   • Receive email notifications—select this check box if you want the user to receive SMTP notifications from KUMA.
   • Display non-printable characters—select this check box if you want the KUMA web interface to display non-printing characters such as spaces, tab characters, and line breaks. If the Display non-printable characters check box is selected, you can press Ctrl/Command+* to enable or disable the display of non-printing characters.

     Spaces and tab characters are displayed in all input fields (except the Description field), in normalizers, correlation rules, filters and connectors, and in SQL queries for searching events in the Events section. Spaces are displayed as dots. A tab character is displayed as a dash in normalizers, correlation rules, filters and connectors. In other fields, a tab character is displayed as one or two dots.

     Line break characters are displayed in all input fields that support multi-line input, such as the event search field.

4. If necessary, use the Generate token button to generate an API token.

   Clicking this button displays the token creation window.

5. If necessary, configure the operations available to the user via the REST API by using the API access rights button.
6. Click Save.

The user account will be created and displayed in the Users table.
