Manage users with basic access control

To start debugging with the Lightrun plugin, users in your organization are required to be registered users and authenticated in the Lightrun Management Portal. Note that this article relates to users who are not working in a non-RBAC environment. To learn how to configure users with RBAC, see [Lightrun Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)(/rbac/overview/).

Supported administrative roles

Administrators can create, edit, and remove users. Administrators can also assign users roles that can help the user perform specific actions. The following table describes the available roles and their permitted actions:

Roles Permissions
ROLE_ACCOUNT_MANAGER Permission to move users between companies, perform system diagnostics operations, update license limits, and get all users of a company and activate/deactivate users.
ROLE_MANAGER Additional capabilities enabling server and user management, such as creating and removing users, clearing exceptions, managing integrations, etc.
ROLE_IGNORE_QUOTA Permission to ignore the system quota; the quota controls use of CPU, Networking, Memory, excessively long strings, too many instructions printing out, protection from infinite.

Create a new user

You can manually add users to your Lightrun organization, one at a time. This is suitable for scenarios where you need to add a small number of users, such as when you're working in a small organization or when you want to add specific individuals.

To use this method, enter the user's details, such as their name, email address, and any other required information, directly into Lightrun's user management interface. The user will then receive an email requiring them to authenticate their credentials.

  1. Log in to your Lightrun account.
  2. Click Settings located at the bottom left corner of your Management Portal.

  3. Select Users under Identity and Access Management.

    The User Management page opens.

    User Management

  4. Click + Create user.

    Create a new user --half

  5. Fill in the user details.

  6. (Optional) Assign admin roles to the user to help you manage your users. To learn more, see Admin roles.
  7. Click Create.

    The user is added to the management user list, and an email will be sent to the user to verify the account and then proceed to log in to Lightrun.
