Users

Users can access and use Logpoint. Every user is a part of a user group. You can create users, assign them to user groups, activate/deactivate them and change their passwords.

Users are granted Logpoint and SOAR permissions specific to the user group they are assigned to.

Log-in credentials for a default user in Logpoint are:

Username: admin

Password: changeme
