Create organizations, teams, and users#

This topic describes how to create organizations, teams, and users.

Note

  • Individual users can belong to multiple teams but a team can belong to only one organization.

  • New users have a default permission level that you can extend by adding the user to a team and creating grants. Alternatively, you can make the user an administrator to extend their permission level.

  • In addition to integrating with LDAP services, MKE provides built-in authentication. You must manually create users to use MKE built-in authentication.
