Users

Overview

Users represent individual identities within Cortx OS. Each user’s access is derived from the User Groups and Roles they are associated with, and the Permission Sets attached to those roles.
The Users section allows Access Managers to view, review, and manage individual user access through a centralized user detail view.

Steps

  • Click the user avatar → select Manage Workspace.

  • Navigate to Organizations → select your organization.

  • Open Access ManagementUsers.

  • Select an existing user or add a new user.

  • Open the User Detail View to review access and profile information.

  • Edit user details, group membership, or role assignments as required.

  • Save the changes.

Managing Users

  • View all users within the organization.

  • Open a user’s detailed view to see:

    • Assigned User Groups

    • Associated Roles

    • Inherited Permission Sets

  • Edit user details and access assignments.

  • Add or remove the user from User Groups.

  • Activate or deactivate user access.

All access changes take effect automatically based on updated assignments.

Best Practices

  • Use the User Detail View to validate effective access before making changes.

  • Prefer User Group–based access over direct role assignments.

  • Limit direct edits to user access to exception handling.

  • Review user access regularly for accuracy and compliance.

  • Deactivate users promptly when access is no longer required.
