Learn how to create users and manage user roles
Pulse currently supports built-in user management. Integration to external Identity Providers like Active Directory will be added in future versions.
Users are managed from Users tab on the Pulse main page. But before we can add more users to our system, we need to log into the Pulse configuration web portal.
Navigate to https://<YourIpAdressHere>:4542 to gain access to Pulse's main login page.
Port 4542 is the default port for https communication.
Default Login Details
Now you will be presented with a default user login page. By default, an administrator user exists with the following login details:
Default Username: Administrator
Password: timebase
First action after your initial login is to change the default password!
You will know be able to create new users via the portal. Users accounts provide access to Pulse as well as other Timebase components (e.g. Explorer, Historian, etc.)
User Creation
Add a user by clicking on the "Add User" dialog at the bottom of the use list.
An add user dialog will be presented on the right side of the portal where the following must be supplied:
- Id - an unique identifier for the user, can be the user's email address as an example.
- First name - First name of the user.
- Last name - Last name of the user.
- Password - Password of the user.
Role assignment
Select the "Is Administrator" check box to assign the user administrative privileges
Currently a user can only be assigned an Administrative or normal user role (by virtue of not being an admin). More Roles to come in future releases.
