Create a user

Reviewed on · View on GitHub

Create a user within your Numspot organization. The user then accesses the console and the API to manage the resources of the spaces assigned to them.

When creating the user, you choose whether to assign roles and permissions immediately, or to create the account without access rights. You can also create a user from the profile of an existing user: the new user then inherits the same spaces, roles and permissions.

For the API, you must first create a service account.

Once the user is created, generate an activation link so that they can set their password and configure two-factor authentication.
