User Account Management

Managing DC/OS user accounts

Open DC/OS can handle three types of user accounts:

• Local user accounts: Local user accounts exist for users who want to create a user account within DC/OS. Usernames and password hashes are stored in IAM database.
• Service accounts: A machine interacting with DC/OS should always go through a service account login for obtaining an authentication token. Do not use a username/password-based login in that case.

NOTE: Any user with access to DC/OS can create more user accounts. Each user account in DC/OS is an authorized administrator account, there is no explicit concept of privileges with Open DC/OS.
