    To configure a user:

    • Go to Users → Users.
    • Click on Create user (or on a user name to edit an existing user).
    • Edit user attributes in the form.

    See the Media types section for details on configuring user media.

    Permissions

    The Permissions tab contains information on:

    • The user role. The user role can only be changed by a Super admin user.

    Users created without a user role will not be able to log into Zabbix, using internal Zabbix authentication.

    • The user type (User, Admin, Super Admin) that is defined in the role configuration.
    • Host and template groups the user has access to. Users of type ‘User’ and ‘Admin’ do not have access to any groups, templates and hosts by default. To get the access they need to be included in user groups that have access to respective entities.
    • Rights to perform certain actions. Actions that are allowed are displayed in green color. Light gray color means that a user does not have the rights to perform this action.
