Adding Users to Organizations
New users are created by adding them to an organization using either the web UI or the CLI. Follow the instructions for your preferred method below.
Before adding users via the web UI, ensure you have:
- Organization owner permissions
- The new user’s email address
Log into your Fuzzball UI as an organization owner
Click on the Gear icon in the top right of the dashboard header and select Manage organization
Navigate to the Users section in the left toolbar
Click on Add User, provide the new user’s email address, and select the Member relationship for regular users (or Owner for organization owners). You can choose to have Fuzzball generate a password automatically or provide one. You can optionally require the user to change their password on first login. If your organization uses an upstream identity provider, the account will be connected to that identity instead. Otherwise the account will be connected to the identity.
Click Add to complete adding the new user to the organization. If you had Fuzzball auto-generate a temporary password, it will be shown in a one-time dialog.
Once the addition is complete, the user will appear in the Member or Owner list, depending on your choice in step 4.
- Fuzzball CLI installed
- Active CLI context for a Fuzzball user configured as an owner for the Fuzzball organization to be managed.
New users can be added as organization members using the Fuzzball
organization member add subcommand. The example below adds user
user2@ciq.com as an organization member. By default a temporary password
for the new user will be created and shown in the output:
$ fuzzball organization member add user2@ciq.com
Member added:
ID: 78be52a7-3702-48d4-ad56-ecf8ac76a727
Email: user2@ciq.com
⚠️ GENERATED PASSWORD (save this - it won't be shown again):
riJ@Kb#2#KpV8g*1S7_Q_4^MLp8I^N52Alternatively, you can provide an explicit password:
$ read -rs TEMP_PASSWORD ## read a password into a variable without echoing to screen
...type password and hit enter...
$ fuzzball organization member add --password "$TEMP_PASSWORD" user2@ciq.com
Member added:
ID: 78be52a7-3702-48d4-ad56-ecf8ac76a727
Email: user2@ciq.comAlternatively, prompt interactively for a password:
$ fuzzball organization member add --password-prompt user2@ciq.com
Password: ········
Confirm: ········
Member added:
ID: 78be52a7-3702-48d4-ad56-ecf8ac76a727
Email: user2@ciq.comThe--passwordand--password-promptflags are mutually exclusive. If neither is provided, Fuzzball auto-generates a secure password.
New users can be added as organization owners by passing --owner to
organization member add. The example below adds user user3@ciq.com
as an organization owner. By default a temporary password is
auto-generated:
$ fuzzball organization member add --owner user3@ciq.com
Owner added:
ID: 41d8cf04-c33a-4015-9fe0-90b9682035bc
Email: user3@ciq.com

$ fuzzball organization member add --owner --password 'MySecurePass123!' user3@ciq.com
Owner added:

$ fuzzball organization member add --owner --password-prompt user3@ciq.com

Email: user3@ciq.comThe--passwordand--password-promptflags are mutually exclusive. If neither is provided, Fuzzball auto-generates a secure password.
After adding a new user to your organization, share their password with them. When users log in
for the first time they will either connect their Fuzzball account to their account in the central
identity management system or log in with the provided password. If you required a password change
(via --require-update-password in the CLI or the equivalent web UI option), they will be
prompted to set a new password on first login. For more information, see the
Managing Passwords guide.
After creating users and adding them to your organization as described above, you add them to specific groups to allow them access to group level resources. The group management guide describes how to manage group membership for your Fuzzball users.
For more information on organization owner and member permissions, please refer to the roles and permissions page.
