User Management

When managing team access to Slingshot, you have two ways to assign roles in Slingshot:

  • Map LDAP groups
  • Assign users (in the User Management page)

Organizations with established LDAP groups tend to manage which users belong to a LDAP group in their identity management system and map LDAP groups to Slingshot roles. Organizations that would like more flexibility tend to assign users to Slingshot roles.

An “LDAP group” refers to a collection of users within a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory. Contact Support to map LDAP groups to roles in Slingshot.

Requirements

  • Tenant admin role must be assigned by mapping LDAP groups. Users must belong to the LDAP group that is mapped to the role in Slingshot. (If you do not wish to map LDAP groups to other roles, tenant admin is the only LDAP group you need.)

Usage Notes

  • Approver roles can be assigned by either assigning users in the User Management page or mapping LDAP groups. Learn more in the Approvals section.
  • Roles that are not Tenant admin or Approver can be assigned with a hybrid approach of both assigning users in the User Management page or mapping LDAP groups. If a user, who belongs to a LDAP group that is mapped to a role in Slingshot is also assigned a role in the User management page, the user gets both roles.

Manage Users

Admins can manage users from the User management screen.

  1. Navigate to the Configurations screen.
