How to configure a Boundary user
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
# User
|
|
|
|
A user is any entity authorized to access Boundary
|
|
using authentication credentials specific to one of the configured Authentication Methods.
|
|
A User is owned by one and only one Organization.
|
|
A User is associated with zero or one Authentication Methods.
|
|
A User not associated with an Authentication Method can not log in to the system.
|
|
A User can belong to zero or more Groups.
|
|
A User inherits from Principal ("is-a" Principal) allowing it to be associated with zero or more Roles.
|
|
A User is deleted when the Organization it belongs to is deleted.
|
|
The lifecycle of a User is not tied to the lifecycle of any
|
|
Authentication Method,
|
|
Group
|
|
or Role,
|
|
but rather to its Organization only
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
+-------------------------------------+
|
|
| Organization |
|
|
+-------------------------------------+
|
|
| User 1 | User 2 | User 3 |
|
|
+-------------------------------------+
|

```
