Adding and Deleting Users
This documentation explains how you can create user accounts and roles to define access to the management console of your product. Before you start, note the following:
- The option of adding, modifying and removing user accounts and roles is only available for administrators with privileges. Read about realm configurations for details on how to set up administrators.Â
The user stores of your product should already be set up and configured, so that the new users and roles you create using the management console can be saved in them. Read about configuring user stores for more details.Â
For example, the user name and password that you define for a new user will be validated against the 'RegEx' configurations of the user store at the time the user/role is created. This validation ensures that details such as the length of password, user name, role name etc. conform to the requirements of the user store. Shown below is the default 'RegEx' configuration for the primary user store in your product.PasswordJavaRegEx-------- ^[\S]{5,30}$ PasswordJavaScriptRegEx-- ^[\S]{5,30}$ UsernameJavaRegEx-------- ^~!#$;%*+={}\\{3,30}$ UsernameJavaScriptRegEx-- ^[\S]{3,30}$ RolenameJavaRegEx-------- ^~!#$;%*+={}\\{3,30}$ RolenameJavaScriptRegEx-- ^[\S]{3,30}$
