Create users

About users

The Tuum system has two types of users:

1. BackOffice User is a user for human operators who access the Tuum system through the BackOffice interface. These users are identities for employees of your company who perform their daily tasks and should not have a system role included in their role set.

2. API User is a user for applications communicating with Tuum through API endpoints. These users are identities for other IT systems of your company integrated with Tuum and should have a system role included in their role set.

User creation flow

To enable a new user to perform tasks within the Tuum system, follow these three steps:

1. Create a BackOffice or API user.

2. Assign roles to restrict user's permissions to perform authorised tasks.

3. Set up credentials to enable secure access to the Tuum system.

Below you can find more details about each step.
