    Validatar requires a strong password. A strong password is defined by default as one that is at least 7 characters long and contains three of the following:

    • Upper-case characters (A-Z)
    • Lower-case characters (a-z)
    • Digits (0-9)
      Note: Password settings can be changed under Global Settings > Configuration.
    AD AccountThe AD textbox can be used to link Validatar with Active Directory.
    Global Admin RolesA global admin has the ability to create, configure, and manage settings for a Validatar instance. A full global admin inherits the following roles:
    • Configuration Admin: Can only see configuration settings.
    • Data Source Admin: Can only manage data sources and view Validatar server logs.
    • Security Admin: Can only manage users and user groups and view Validatar server logs.

    A user can have a combination of these roles without being a full global admin. There is not a limit on the number of global admins a Validatar instance can have.

    Licensed RolesThere are two types of Validatar users: 
    • Test Author: Can create new Validatar tests.
    • Viewer: Can view tests and test results for projects they have access to. All Validatar users are viewers.
    There is a maximum limit of users who can be test authors at one time based on the edition of Validatar that was purchased. Once that limit is reached, a user will have to lose the test author role for another user to gain it. Find your volume limits under your activated license key or in your Validatar Startup Guide emailed to you from the Validatar Customer Success team.
    Project Admin AccessAll active projects display under Project Admin Access. Selecting any project will grant the user admin access to that project. Admin access can also be granted via Project > User Details.

    Access

    1. Navigate to Settings on the main menu bar.
    2. Click Users.
