Steps

Walkthrough · 3 steps · ~2 min

Register users at the account level through the console. You assign them to workspaces and groups later.

1

Open the account console for your cloud

• AWS
• Azure
• GCP

2

In the left panel, click User management. On the Users tab, click Add user, enter the user's email and full name, then click Add. The user now shows up in the Users list.

3

Add everyone who needs access. You assign them to workspaces and groups in the next steps, so for now you are just getting the names into the account.

Where people trip

User already exists error

The email is already in the account. Search the Users tab for it: a previous admin may have added that person by hand, or a SCIM sync already pulled them in.
