Service Users

Overview

A service user is a non-human system user. API tokens can be generated from service users and are used to interact with Platform Orchestrator’s API on the service user’s behalf. Service Users permissions are managed via RBAC just like regular users.

Managing Service Users

Creating a new Service User

An Organization Admin can create a new Service User in the Platform Orchestrator. This involves specifying the Service User’s name, description, and any necessary permissions.

Creating Service Users is currently supported via the Orchestrator console, in the Service Users section of your Organization at https://console.humanitec.dev .

  1. Select Service Users from the navigation menu.
  2. Click Create new service user.
  3. In the Name text box on the left-hand side, add the Service User’s name.
  4. In the Expiry in days text box, specify the duration for which the Service User will be valid.
  5. Select Create to create the Service User.
  6. The Service User’s details, including the generated API token, will be displayed. Make sure to copy the API token as it will not be shown again.
