User provisioning

What is it

In environments with large number of users, it can be not easy to create user accounts for all users. Since version 5.4.0 Bacularis provides a new feature called user provisioning which allows automatic creation of user accounts upon the first successful user login. This means administrators don’t have to create accounts manually.

How it works

User logs in using their own credentials to Bacularis. After logging in, Bacularis checks if the user account already exists. If the account does not exist and if the user provisioning function is enabled, Bacularis dynamically creates a new user account with default settings.

The default new account settings includes:

• API hosts that the user will be able to work with.

• Roles that the user will be assigned.

• Organization that the user will become a member.

Using organizations

If you use organization in your Bacularis instance, when you enable the user provisioning, please make sure that you set this organization in the default new account settings.

In case multi-organization environment, so far the user provisioning is capable to create new accounts for one selected organization, not for all of them.

How to use it

To configure user provisioning, please go to the Security page on the Authentication tab. There in the General subtab you can find this feature. It is named Provision user.
