Users #

There are two ways usernames can be granted permission to log into Starburst Galaxy:

• Direct access, maintained in Galaxy.
• Single sign-on (SSO) access, maintained in an external identity provider. See Single sign-on and Single sign-on overview for a discussion of SSO access.

Users assigned to the accountadmin role can add usernames to Galaxy’s internal direct access list.

The Users pane of the Access control navigation menu is where you can create new users, and view and manage all configured users in your Starburst Galaxy account.
