Create a New User

When creating a new user, you can either provide admin privileges or set the specific scopes for actions that this user can take via the UI or APIs. Please read about each scope and its privileges carefully before granting access to the user.

  • Develop scope users can access Elasticsearch APIs. For example, they can do the following actions:
    • Create/delete indices
    • Import data to any index
    • Browse data
    • Access request logs

  • User Management scope users can do the following actions:

    • Create new users,
    • Edit existing users. For example, modify the privileges of other users,
    • Delete the existing users.

  • Billing scope allows access to the Billing page in dashboard. A user with this scope can add / edit payment methods and make changes to the subscription.

  • Downtime Alerts In case of service downtime, appbase.io send emails to all the users with the Downtime Alerts scope.

User Management vs API Credentials

When you need to provide GUI access to the dashboard, we recommend creating a new user. On the other hand, when you need to offer programmatic access to a subset of the APIs or set restrictions based on IPs, HTTP Referers, fields, time, we recommend creating an API credential.
