User Management

Overview

Syndeia Cloud out of the box has a user management system with permissions to allow/deny various operations which include:  

  • user read (enumeration of user list)
  • user creation (signup),
  • user modification (ie: update to assign permissions or change/reset passwords), and 
  • user remove (currently implemented by "disabling" to prevent any breakage of historical references) 

By default Syndeia Cloud has an administrator (super user) named super.user@intercax.com with a password of syn45ia .  

To prevent accidental system lock-outs, the designated super user account cannot be deleted. 

(info) To change who the designated super user is, edit the application.conf file and alter the super.user.email = "super.user@intercax.com" line.  

(warning) For enhanced security we recommend changing the username and password from the default (see the How To Reset a Password section in the Web Interface (Swagger REST API) page for more information).  


Usage

There are two main methods of methods of managing users in Syndeia Cloud:  

  1. Syndeia Cloud User Manager :  a small tool bundled with the Syndeia client:   
     
    which can be launched as a standalone application or via the Syndeia plugin in an app, ie: MagicDraw:  


  2. Syndeia Cloud Web Interface (Swagger REST API) :  This is a web interface to the REST API in the form of an interactive documentation.
