Overview

Cosmos makes the process of adding new users to the Cosmos Portal quick and easy. Since Cosmos integrates directly with Microsoft Entra, your users are readily available for your Cosmos Administrator to add.

This article will cover how to add new users to the Cosmos Portal.

Details

New users can be added to the Cosmos Portal by any user who has the Administrator role within Cosmos.

To add new users, the Administrator should first navigate to the Administration section of the Cosmos Portal.

Once there, you can go to the Users section where you will see all the current users and the roles that have been added to Cosmos. To add a new user, click the New User button in the upper-right corner of the Administration section.

This will open the Add User window. You can begin typing the user's name and it will search Microsoft Entra and return all users that match. Once you pick the user, you can then set whether they are a Full or Lite user.

Your organization is licensed for a specific number of Full Users and Lite Users. Each of these have different capabilities, which are explained below.

• Full Users: This License Type allows users to have any role, including Report Viewer, Report Editor, Data Model Editor, or Administrator.
• Lite Users: This License Type only allows users to have the Report Viewer role, so they are limited to being able to run and open reports but not make changes to anything.

Toggling the Allow Tenant Administration button will enable the user to access the Administration area of Cosmos to do things like create environments and manage users across all environments.

You can check the box for any existing Cosmos environments that the user should have access to.

Once completed, you can then click Save to add the user to Cosmos. You can then assign roles to a user by following the steps in the article here: How to Assign Roles to a User.
