how to create users for login to web interface for airbyte
u
To create users for login to the Airbyte web interface, the process differs depending on whether you're using Airbyte Cloud or the self-managed version. Here's how you can do it: For Airbyte Cloud: Airbyte Cloud already has built-in authentication, allowing you to log in using your email and password, Google account, or GitHub account. There's no need to create separate users for login [Securing Airbyte Cloud > Authentication](https://docs.airbyte.com/operating-airbyte/security#authentication). For self-managed Airbyte (OSS or Enterprise): 1. During the initial setup, you'll be prompted to create a user. If you've already set up Airbyte, you can use the
abctl
command-line tool to manage credentials: 2. To set your email, run:
Copy code
abctl local credentials --email <mailto:your_email@example.com|your_email@example.com>
3. To set your password, run:
Copy code
abctl local credentials --password new_password
4. If you need to retrieve your credentials, you can use:
Copy code
abctl local credentials
This will display your email, password, client-id, and client-secret [Quickstart > 2: Run Airbyte Part 1](https://docs.airbyte.com/using-airbyte/getting-started/oss-quickstart#2-run-airbyte). Remember, for self-managed Airbyte, you're creating credentials for the entire instance rather than individual user accounts. If you need multi-user access with different permissions, you might want to consider using Airbyte Cloud or implementing additional authentication layers in front of your self-managed Airbyte instance.
