Add, delete, and assign roles to users with Cloud Observability, the Cloud Observability API, or Terraform.
The content below is intended for Admins and Billing Admins. For conceptual information about managing users and roles and possible setups, visit User and role management.
Manually create users on Cloud Observability’s Projects and users page. Once you add a user, Cloud Observability sends them an email inviting them to create an account.
Follow these steps to create a new user:
Click Invite user to send the user an email asking them to set their password and sign in.
The new user appears in the Users tab. You and other Admin or Billing Admin users can change their role if needed.
If you’re using SSO, users can’t change passwords in Lightstep.
If you’re not using SSO, users can change their password. Follow these steps to change your password:
Follow these steps to change an existing user’s role:
Cloud Observability displays <email> roles updated and returns to the Users tab.
You can delete a single user or delete multiple users in bulk. Once you delete a user, they can no longer access Cloud Observability.
Follow these steps to delete users:
In Cloud Observability’s navigation bar, click Account management > Projects and users.
In the Users tab:
Cloud Observability displays <email> deleted from <organization> and returns to the Users tab.
Cloud Observability assigns the default role to all new users. You can change users’ roles once they’re in the system.
Don’t set the default role to Admin. If you set it to Admin, all new users get full access to Cloud Observability.
Cloud Observability displays <organization> default role updated.
