Users

Each individual requires a personal User account in order to access Farsight. The User name is tied to the email address of the individual.

New Users can be created directly or invited for self-registration by administrators.

• Creating User accounts requires knowing the full name and specifying a default password.
• For this reason the Invite option might be the preferable way unless sending emails is not permissible e.g. in air-gapped environments.

User accounts must belong to a Client and can optionally have multiple Client assignments.

Create User

1. In the Users tab click the button CREATE USER in the top right corner.

2. Optionally select the Client to be assigned in the drop-down menu Assigned Client.

3. Select the applicable Auth Providers for the new account. The drop-down menu allows multiple selections.

4. Enter the User details:

   • First Name
   • Last Name

5. Enter the User credentials:

   • Email Address
   • Password & Verification

Tip

Password complexity requirement can vary across different Farsight instances. There is a complexity indicator bar at the bottom which will notify once requirements are met.

Invite User

This feature offers self-registration capabilities to which Users can provide their details.

1. Press the button INVITE USERS to open the invite dialog.
2. Select the applicable Auth Providers for the new account(s):
3. Provide a single or multiple email addresses to the Email Addresses input box.
4. Press the button SEND INVITES to notify Users about their invitation.

For each provided email address a new User account is created instantly. These accounts will show Pending Invitation on Name while registration steps have not been completed. Nevertheless as an administrator you can already assign designated Groups while registration is pending.

Tip

See section Register with Farsight for insights into the self registration experience from the User perspective.
