Create Admin User

New users are created in the JFrog Platform.

An administrator (admin) user in JFrog Connect is a user that has the Administrator role defined in JFrog Platform. An admin has access to all functions and features in Connect and can perform various management tasks such as creating, viewing, editing, and deleting of non-admin users. In addition, there are certain features in Connect, e.g., Audit Log, that by definition only the admin user has access to.

New JFrog Connect users are created in the JFrog Platform.

• To create a new user from scratch, start with Step 1 in the procedure below.

• If the user already exists in the Platform, and you just want to add the user to Connect, start with Step 2 in the procedure below.

1. In JFrog Platform, go to the User Management settings and create a new user according to the procedure described Create or Edit Users. When you create the new user, under Roles, mark Administer Platform.

1. For the user to be an admin in Connect, the user must be an admin in the Platform. In the list of Users in JFrog Platform, search for the user and ensure that the user is already indicated as an admin.

1. In Connect, go to General Settings, and in the User Permissions tab verify that the user appears in the Connect list of users and is indicated as an admin.

Tip: There is no need to assign the new user to fleets in Connect. As an administrator, the user will by definition have access to all Connect fleets and all permissions in each fleet.

1. If the new user has not yet received login credentials for the Platform, give the username and password to the user.

The new user is now ready to log in to the Platform and start using Connect.
