Manage Users

Manage users and their access levels.

Types of Users​

A brand new install of Trisul has two users pre-provisioned

  • admin - username admin and password admin

  • user - username user and password user

The admin login must be used to perform all tasks that involve system configuration change, starting and stopping Trisul processes, user and role management.

The user login is for all other operations like viewing and scheduling reports, packet analysis, viewing alerts, and pretty much everything else a normal operator would do on a regular basis.
