User management

Access to Spider requires the user to be authenticated.

User management features​

For this, Spider includes users management features to allow:

  • user creation, edition and deletion
  • user rights & permissions management
  • user access management
  • user connection
  • user profile management
  • user password reset
  • user privacy terms validation

Authentication​

Users accounts used for authentication may be:

  • local accounts
  • linked to an external LDAP account
  • or linked to an OpenID connect provider (a social account or a professional one).

Authorization​

To perform an action on Spider, the user needs to be authorized, by a role, or specific permissions.

info

By default, a new user cannot do anything.
The UI is an empty shell for him:

  • No default team
  • No default whisperer

Users settings​

Users have their own specific UI settings associated to their account.
These settings include all the customisation of Spider UI. They are described in another part: Configuration

Teams​

Users in Spider can be part of one or several Teams to allow a more centralised and shared management of settings and access rights.

Auditing​

Users identifiers are used in Spider logs for troubleshooting, in Spider shared links when shared a view to another user.
They are also used to identify the creator or editor of configuration items like Controllers, Whisperers and so on.
