Create a user account
V‑Spark user accounts can be created manually using the GUI, and manually or programmatically using the API's /config/users/
endpoint. Users may also request a new account if that feature is enabled.
To create a user account:
-
Click
Settings.
-
Click Accounts.
-
Click
Add at the far right of the User Accounts section of the Account Settings screen.
The Create New User window appears:
-
Use the Company drop-down menu to select the company that will be the account's home company.
-
Enter the user's Full Name, Email address, and Username (the user's login name for V‑Spark). The username and email address for each user must be unique.
-
Specify the source for the new user's password. You must choose one of the available options:
-
Send user link to set password — sends the new user an email with a link that can be used to set an initial password.
When the password has been successfully set, V‑Spark sends an additional email confirmation to the user.
-
Set password for user — displays a Password field that can be used to set an initial password. Passwords must adhere to the installation's password requirements.
-
Use external auth method — integrates the user's account with an external authentication method so that they do not need a V‑Spark-specific username and password.
This option displays only if the installation has been configured to use external authentication, as in the following example:
Selecting Use external auth method displays a drop-down list of the external authentication mechanisms with which your installation has been integrated. The only currently supported external authentication method is OpenID Connect (OIDC) using single sign-on (SSO).
