By adding a local user account, you can provide users with direct access to your ExtraHop appliances and restrict their access as needed by their role in your organization.

To learn about default system user accounts, see Local users.
  1. Log into the Admin UI on the Discover or Command appliance.
  2. In the Access Settings section, click Users.
  3. Click Add User.
  4. In the Personal Information section, type the following information:

    Login ID: The username that users will log into their ExtraHop appliances with, which cannot contain any spaces. For example, adalovelace.

    Full Name: A display name for the user, which can contain spaces. For example, Ada Lovelace.

    Password: The password for this account, which must be a minimum of 5 characters.

    Confirm Password: Re-type the password from the Password field.

  5. In the User Privileges section, select the desired privileges for the user.
    Note:For more information, see the User privileges section.
  6. Click Save.
Tip:
  • To modify settings for a user, click the username from the list to bring up the Edit user page.
  • To delete a user account, click the red X icon. If you delete a user from a remote authentication server, such as LDAP, you must also delete the entry for that user on the ExtraHop appliance.
