Prerequisites

  • To add a user, you must be signed into N-sight RMM using an Agent Key, a Superuser role, or a user account with the Roles & Permissions permission enabled.

Add an N-sight RMM staff user

  1. In the All Devices view, go to SettingsUsersUser Accounts.
  2. Select Add User.

  3. In the Username column, enter an active and valid email address for the user.

    Ensure all usernames in the system are active, valid email addresses.

  4. In the Role column, use the dropdown menu to select a role. To add a new role, select Manage Roles to open the Roles and permissions dialog.
  5. In the Client Groups column, use the dropdown menu to select a client group. To add a new client group, select Manage Groups to open the Client groups dialog.

    Asset Tracking and most reports are client group aware. Users only see data for their own assigned Clients. When users select All Clients in reports, only reports for their client group is returned.

    Superusers, Agent Key users (with dashboard access), and users with appropriate permissions can change their own client group.

  6. (Optional) Disable or enable Agent Key user access.

  7. Select Save, review the changes, then select OK to confirm.

    The new user is sent a verification email with a link to set their password and the user password status is displayed in the P/W (Password) column. A green tick indicates a Password is set and an empty tick indicates a password is not set.

Each user generates their own Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) access code. All actions in the All Devices view are recorded in the User Audit Report.

The User Accounts dialog indicates when a client group has restricted feature access. To open the User Accounts dialog, go to Settings > Users > User Accounts on the All Devices view.
