User provisioning

What is it

In environments with a large number of users, creating user accounts manually can be difficult. Since version 5.4.0, Bacularis provides a feature called user provisioning, which enables automatic creation of user accounts upon a user’s first successful login. This eliminates the need for manual account creation by administrators.

How it works

When a user logs in to Bacularis using their credentials, the system checks if the user’s account already exists. If it does not, and user provisioning is enabled, Bacularis will automatically create a new account with default settings.

The default settings for a newly created account include:

• API hosts the user will have access to

• Roles assigned to the user

• Organization the user will be part of

Using organizations

If you use organizations in your Bacularis instance, be sure to specify the desired organization in the default new account settings when enabling user provisioning.

In multi-organization environments, user provisioning currently supports creating accounts for one selected organization only—not multiple.

How to use it

To configure user provisioning, go to the Security page and open the Authentication tab. Under the General subtab, you will find the feature labeled Provision user.
