Managing users

It is possible for multiple users to have access to KUMA. Users are assigned user roles, which affect the tasks the users can perform. The same user may have different roles with different tenants. However, you cannot assign roles to yourself, even if your user account has the General administrator role; the displayed list of roles cannot be edited.

You can create or edit user accounts in the Settings → Users section of the KUMA web interface. Users are also created automatically in the application if KUMA integration with Active Directory is enabled and the user is logging in to the KUMA web interface for the first time using their domain account.

The user must change the password upon the first login to the KUMA web interface. Subsequently, each user must regularly change their password in accordance with corporate policies, but at least once every three months.

User accounts are displayed in the Users window of the KUMA web interface on the Active users and Inactive users tabs, depending on the user account status, Active or Inactive. You can use the Search field to look for users. You can sort the tables by clicking the column header and selecting Ascending or Descending.

You can create, edit, or disable user accounts. When editing user accounts (your own or the accounts of others), you can generate an API token for them.

To disable a user account:

In the Settings → Access → Users → Active users section of the KUMA web interface, select the check box next to the relevant user and click Disable.
