Create Local Users

Local user account credentials reside in the Controller and the Controller authenticates the user rather than authentication by an external provider.

You can create local user accounts as follows:

Navigate to Users > Administration.

These guidelines apply to local user accounts:

  • Because of browser incompatibilities, Splunk AppDynamics recommends using only ASCII characters for usernames and passwords.

  • Choose at least one role for the new user. The user will not be able to use any features in the Controller until you assign a role.

After creating a user, you can modify, delete, or duplicate the user account, or assign the user to a group or role from the Users tab.

Note: If a deleted user owns a custom dashboard, then the dashboard and its associated shares and reports cease to function properly, and this dialog displays to confirm deletion:See Dashboard Recovery.

You can associate users with roles from the user's configuration or navigate to Roles > Users and Groups with this Role to see the user and group assignments.

Attention: Do not remove yourself from all groups or from all roles. If you are a member of custom roles only, do not delete those custom roles or remove permissions. Doing so can result in being locked out of the Controller. If this happens, use the built-in administrator role to restore the account.
