Adding another fusionauth user to the admin

dan

Hi, how can I add another user that exists in FusionAuth as an admin.

I want them to be able to login to the fusionauth admin UI.

Navigate to the user's panel in the admin UI
Find your user using the search bar
Click on the action icon titled "manage user' (blue/black icon)
Navigate to the Registrations tab
Add the user to the FusionAuth application (this 'application' is the default Admin UI that ships with FusionAuth) and assign a role (possibly Global Admin).

More information about our roles can be found below. https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/core-concepts/roles/

After following this, I found that the cloud instance user had "No roles defined" for Role when I clicked the Edit button for our application in the user's Manage User view.

This remained true even after ensuring the user had all roles at https://account.fusionauth.io/account/user/ and reloading the cloud instance Users view (in case there is any linkage between account roles and instance roles...but it appears there isn't any).

I don't see any way at https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/core-concepts/roles to create a role, nor can I find any by hunting in left nav.

Ah, but if one selects Applications in the cloud instance UI, there is a Manage Roles button (for applications other than the default FusionAuth one). In that view, the Add button opens a modal with form fields corresponding to the role attributes described at https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/core-concepts/roles#role-attributes

I believe I should use the following settings:
SuperRole = on
Default = off
Name = <applicationName>SuperRole

Then I can follow the steps in Dan's list above to assign the role to the user.

Hi @david-pautler,

Sorry for the confusion! The users in account.fusionauth.io and your cloud instance are a disjoint set and do not have to be related at all. There's no synchronization between these two sets of users, and they actually run on different virtual hardware and do not share a database.

So assigning roles to users in account.fusionauth.io won't have any effect on users in <your fusionauth instance>.
