Once Kinetica is connected to an external authentication source, the external users can be used for all Kinetica administration. First, a user with administrative permissions that can be tied to an external user will need to be created within Kinetica:
  • Log into Kinetica Administration Application (GAdmin) with an internal Kinetica administration account
  • From the Security menu, select Users
  • Click the New button
  • For Authentication, select External
  • Enter an external user’s username, preceded by @. This marks the user as an externally authenticated user
  • For System Level Permission, select System Admin
Although external users are created with the username @<username>, they will log in with their regular username, without the @.
