Adding and Managing an Administrator

The RUCKUS One account allows you to add users to facilitate delegation of specific types of management tasks.

Note: Trial accounts are limited to one administrator account. If you have a trial account with a TEMP license, you cannot create an additional administrator account.
Adding a new user requires the following:
  • Entering a user’s email address that is already registered with RUCKUS One.
    Note: You can associate a single email address with multiple tenants across different brands or MSPs. This allows you, as an MSP administrator, to manage them all.
    Note: You can use the "+" (plus) notation in email addresses (for example, user+admin1@domain.com) to create unique variations for organizational purposes, allowing you to better manage and filter RUCKUS One administrative accounts while still delivering emails to the primary email system (for example, user@domain.com).
  • Assigning an authentication type. If you plan to use the SSO with 3rd Party option, you must first enable the Enable SSO with 3rd Party provider option on the Administration > Account Management > Settings tab. Refer to Configuring SAML SSO with Azure AD for complete instructions.
  • Assigning a privilege group. Refer to Understanding Administrator Roles and Privileges and Adding and Managing a Custom Privilege Group for information to help you select an existing privilege group or configure a new one (if necessary).
Complete the following steps to add a user.
  1. From the navigation bar, select Administration > Account Management > Users & Privileges.
  2. Select the Users sub-tab. The following information is displayed:
    • Name: Displays the name of the user.
    • Email: Displays the email address of the user.
    • Authentication Type: Displays the authentication type (SSO with 3rd Party or RUCKUS) configured for the user to log in to RUCKUS One. This must be enabled or activated in RUCKUS One.
    • Privilege Group: Displays the privilege group with which the user is associated. Privilege groups can be system-defined or custom-defined. To create a custom privilege group, refer to Adding and Managing a Custom Privilege Group.
    You can use the Search option to display only the table entries matching the specified user Name or Email; enter a minimum of two characters. You can also use the Authentication Type and Privilege Group filters to display only entries matching your selections. You can sort the list of users by attribute; simply click on the desired column header to reorder the list.
