Create users that need access to your Realtime Register account

The seventh step is to create users that you assign to the different employees/applications in your organization that will need access to your Realtime Register account.

In your Realtime Register account you can create as much users as you like that can gain access to the Domain Manager or the API. It's advised to create unique users for each application and person separately that needs access to your account. By creating unique users for each employee/application we will always be able to determine and inform you who has made changes to domains/contacts in case you need to know. In addition, creating unique users with limited access to the parts of the Domain Manager/API they need access to also greatly improves the security of your account.

For an instruction on how to create users for applications/employees in your organisation, continue reading below.

Once logged in, you'll reach the page below on which all active users are displayed. By default only the admin user is active in your account. This is why we advise to create designated users for every user in your organisation, this will not only improve security of your account but will allow us to check which person or application has requested updates on domains, contacts & SSL-certificates in case you need this information.

In the instruction to create user roles for all the different roles in your account we've already talked about all the different roles in your organisation and how to create a set of permissions for them. In this instruction we'll provide information on how to create users and how to connect them to the correct user roles. We'll provide an example of a user that is created for a person and an application in your organisation.

Personal user

API user role

Create a personal user

Click 'New user' to add a new user.

Submit a login name, password, email address, name, and language for the new user your creating.

Take note: We advise to have passwords generated by a password generator of your choice to ensure account security for the user you're creating.

Define the roles the new user needs access to, whether to force Multi-Factor Authentication and the allowed access points for the new user.

Take note: For personal user accounts we advise to only to grant Web access as personal users will use their accounts to login to the Domain Manager. API access would be pointless for a personal user, but it's your own choice to make of course.

Optional, you can define IP whitelists to restrict aces from unauthorized locations for the user you're creating. When everything is set up according to your preferences, click Create user to create the new user.

The new user is now created and will show in the overview in the user section of your account.

You've now successfully created a personal user account with the necessary user roles connected to it. An email will be sent to the new user notifying him/her of the creation with an instruction on how to login.

Create API user

Click 'New user' to add a new user.

Submit a login name, password, email address, name, and language for the new user your creating. It's advised to choose a name for the API access based user your creating that is eponymous to the application you're creating the user for.

Take note: We advise to have passwords generated by a password generator of your choice to ensure account security for the user you're creating.

Define the roles the new API user needs access to, and force MFA. Do not grant web access.

Optional, you can define IP whitelists to restrict aces from unauthorized locations for the API user you're creating. When everything is set up according to your preferences, click Create user to create the new user.

The new user is now created and will show in the overview in the user section of your account.

You've now successfully created an API user account with the necessary user roles connected to it. To create API-keys for the API user, refer to the Access and Authentication article.
