Users

Users are individuals with access to the USP Admin UI and USP REST API, who are responsible for configuring and monitoring USP. The specific permissions and Configuration Items a User has access to are determined by the User's Role.

Each user is assigned a Role that defines their level of access within the USP Manager:

• Admin: Full access to all configuration, management, and monitoring functionality.
• Read-only: Limited to viewing configuration and status data only.

info

Users are not to be confused with Accounts. Users are administrative individuals who are responsible for USP administration and system management. Accounts are for partners (businesses, internal/external users, customers, entities, vendors, organizations) and used for client authentication.

Before You Begin

Authentication Sources

Users can be set up with Standard (username/password) authentication, which requires Users to be manually created via the USP Manager UI or API. This type of User is the one covered in the current page.

USP also supports LDAP and Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication for Users, allowing Users to log in using external services.

For more details, refer to Login Methods.
