2.2 Adding users

User management in Mage Pro enables administrators to control access, assign appropriate permissions, and maintain security across data engineering workflows. Adding users systematically ensures that team members have the right level of access for their responsibilities while maintaining proper governance and security controls.

Step-by-step user addition process

Access user management settings From the profile dropdown menu, select "Settings" to open the administrative interface. The profile menu can be found on the upper right corner of all Mage Pro user interface pages.

Navigate to user management Under the User management tab, select "Users" to access the user administration panel.

Initiate user creation Click the blue "Add new user" button to begin the user creation process.

Configure user details Fill out the required user information including name, email address, and create a secure password for the new user account.

Create the user account Click the "Create new user" button to establish the user account in the system.

Assign user permissions Provide the new user with an appropriate role (Admin, Editor, Owner, or Viewer) based on their job responsibilities, then click the "Save changes" button to finalize the configuration.

User role considerations

When assigning roles, consider the principle of least privilege - grant users only the minimum permissions necessary for their work. Admins can manage users and system settings, Editors can create and modify pipelines, Owners have full system access, and Viewers have read-only permissions for monitoring and analysis purposes.

Conclusion

Adding users to Mage Pro follows a straightforward administrative process that ensures proper access control and security. The role-based permission system allows you to grant appropriate access levels while maintaining system security and governance. Regular review of user accounts and permissions helps maintain a secure and well-organized data engineering environment.
