Create and manage users
Estimated reading time: 1 minuteWhen using the UCP built-in authentication, you need to create users and assign them with a default permission level so that they can access the cluster.
To create a new user, go to the UCP web UI, and navigate to the Users & Teams page.
Click the Create User button, and fill-in the user information.
Check the ‘Is a UCP admin’ option, if you want to grant permissions for the user to change cluster configurations. Also, assign the user with a default permission level.
Default permissions specify the permission a user has for resources that don’t
have the com.docker.access.label
label applied to them. There are four
permission levels:
Default permission level | Description |
---|---|
No Access |
The user can’t view resource, like services, images, networks, and volumes. |
View Only |
The user can view images and volumes, but can’t create services. |
Restricted Control |
The user can view and edit volumes and networks. They can create services, but can’t see other users services, run docker exec , or run containers that require privileged access to the host. |
Full Control |
The user can view and edit volumes and networks. They can create containers without any restriction, but can’t see other users containers. |
Learn more about the UCP permission levels. Finally, click the Create User button, to create the user.
