Administrator

This guide explains how to add, edit, and manage users within your DataCentral Tenant.

Adding a User

To add a new user to your Tenant:

1. Navigate to Administration > Users.
2. Click the Add User button.
3. Select the appropriate User Type (e.g., Azure AD, User Pass, Mobile ID, OTP).
4. Enter the user's details (the required fields depend on the selected user type).
5. Assign the user to one or more Organizational Units (OUs).
6. Assign the user to one or more Roles.
7. Click Save.

If you selected User Pass, you will be prompted to set an initial password for the user.

Editing a User

To edit an existing user:

1. Navigate to Administration > Users.
2. Locate the user in the list or use the search bar.
3. Click the Edit icon next to the user's name.
4. Update the user's details, OUs, or Roles as needed.
5. Click Save.

Deleting a User

To remove a user from your Tenant:

1. Navigate to Administration > Users.
2. Locate the user in the list.
3. Click Actions
4. Click Delete
5. Confirm the deletion.

Note: Deleting a user permanently removes their access to DataCentral. It does not delete their underlying Entra ID account (if applicable).

Bulk Importing Users

For large deployments, you can bulk import users from an Excel file

1. Navigate to Administration > Users.
2. Click the Excel operations button.
3. Download the Excel template.
4. Fill out the template with the users' details, OUs, and Roles.
5. Upload the completed Excel file.
6. Refresh the page and see newly added users in user list

Synchronizing Users with Entra ID

If your Tenant is configured with a Microsoft Graph Service Principal, you can automatically synchronize users from your Entra ID security groups into DataCentral Organizational Units.

1. Navigate to Administration > Organizational Units.
2. Select an OU that is linked to an Entra ID group.
3. Click the Sync button.
4. DataCentral will automatically add new users, update existing users, and remove users who are no longer in the Entra ID group.
