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

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, you would typically 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 Users Management page opens.

    User Management

  4. Click + Create user.

    The Create user dialog opens.

    Create a new user --half

  5. Fill in the user details and set the user as Active.

  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.
