Add a User

Create a new user account in AttackLens to grant a team member access to the platform.

INFO

Requires Super Admin role.

Step 1: Navigate to Users

Go to Team Management > Users in the left sidebar.

Step 2: Click Add User

Click the Add User button in the top-right corner of the page.

Step 3: Fill in User Details

Name (Required)

Enter the user's full name. This is the display name shown throughout AttackLens -- in audit logs, sensor ownership, and wherever the user's identity is displayed.

Email (Required)

Enter the user's email address. This serves as both the login identifier and the contact email. Each email address can only be associated with one account.

WARNING

The email address cannot be changed after the account is created. If the user's email changes, you will need to create a new account and delete the old one.

Password (Required)

Set the initial password for the user. The password must meet the following complexity requirements:

Requirement	Details
Minimum length	8 characters
Uppercase letter	At least one (A-Z)
Lowercase letter	At least one (a-z)
Number	At least one (0-9)
Special character	At least one (!@#$%^&* etc.)

TIP

Instruct the user to change their password after first login. Navigate to Your Account > Profile to change the password.

Role (Required)

Assign a role to the user. This determines what the user can see and do in AttackLens:

Role	Best For
Viewer	Stakeholders, executives, or team members who need read-only access to dashboards, findings, and reports.
Posture Manager	Security analysts and engineers who manage assets, policies, rulesets, and sensors on a daily basis.
Admin	Security team leads who need to configure adapter connections, integrations, and platform settings.
Super Admin	Platform administrators responsible for user management, SSO, and full system configuration.

See Understand Roles and Permissions for a detailed breakdown of what each role can do.

WARNING

Follow the principle of least privilege. Assign the minimum role necessary for the user's responsibilities. You can always upgrade a role later if needed.

Step 4: Save

Click Save to create the account. The new user appears in the users list and can immediately sign in with the email and password you provided.

After Creating the User

Once the account is created:

1. Share credentials securely: Send the email and temporary password to the user through a secure channel (not in plain text via email). Use your organization's standard credential sharing process.
2. Instruct the user to change their password: After first login, the user should navigate to Your Account > Profile and change their password immediately.
3. Verify access: Ask the user to confirm they can log in and see the expected data for their role.

What Gets Logged

Creating a user account generates an audit log entry that records:

• The Super Admin who created the account.
• The new user's email address.
• The assigned role.
• The timestamp.

This entry is visible in Settings > Audit Logs. See View Audit Logs for details.
