Add new users in Admin Web UI 

Access Server Access Control Guide

To add users,  log in to your Access Server’s Admin Web UI and navigate to User Management > User Permissions. We provide a detailed guide for this procedure in our user manual: Adding and Configuring Users.

When creating new users, enter their username, assign them to a group, choose whether to grant admin privileges, allow auto-login for the profile, and click on More Settings to define a password and enter optional configuration settings. You can find details about this procedure in our user manual: User Management: User Permissions.

Groups provide you with another layer of access control. To create new groups, access the User Management section in the Admin Web UI and click Group Permissions. You can find details about this concept in our user manual: User Management: Group Permissions.
