This guide outlines the proper method for adding new users to your Approov account, based on the information available in your account administration documentation.
1. Authorization and Role
The task of creating or removing user roles and adding new users must be performed by an account administrator.
2. Required Tool
All user management, including adding new users, must be performed through the Approov Command Line Interface (CLI). The Approov Portal (GUI) is not provided for account administration, only for monitoring traffic and status of attestations.
3. Step-by-Step Procedure
The detailed, step-by-step instructions for adding new user roles can be found in the Approov usage documentation: Adding New User Roles
The -add option has a parameter of the user email. By default the new user role will have the same duration as the admin role used to create it
The role will default as a dev user role.
4. User Roles and Privileges
New users can be assigned one of four roles, which grant varying levels of privileges:
-
admin
-
developer (dev)
-
automation
-
pentester
More details on these roles and their permissions are available here: User Roles
5. Best Practices
It is recommended to review the Best Practices section of the documentation, as specific steps may need to be adjusted based on your company's structure.
