To configure a user:
The User tab contains general user attributes:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Alias | Unique username, used as the login name. |
Name | User first name (optional). If not empty, visible in acknowledgement information and notification recipient information. |
Surname | User second name (optional). If not empty, visible in acknowledgement information and notification recipient information. |
Groups | Select user groups the user belongs to. Starting with Zabbix 3.4.3 this field is auto-complete so starting to type the name of a user group will offer a dropdown of matching groups. Scroll down to select. Alternatively, click on Select to add groups. Click on 'x' to remove the selected. Adherence to user groups determines what host groups and hosts the user will have access to. |
Password | Two fields for entering the user password. With an existing password, contains a Password button, clicking on which opens the password fields. |
Language | Language of the Zabbix frontend. The php gettext extension is required for the translations to work. |
Theme | Defines how the frontend looks like: System default - use default system settings Blue - standard blue theme Dark - alternative dark theme |
Auto-login | Mark this checkbox to make Zabbix remember the user and log the user in automatically for 30 days. Browser cookies are used for this. |
Auto-logout | With this checkbox marked the user will be logged out automatically, after the set amount of seconds (minimum 90 seconds, maximum 1 day). Time suffixes are supported, e.g. 90s, 5m, 2h, 1d. Note that this option will not work: * If the "Show warning if Zabbix server is down" global configuration option is enabled and Zabbix frontend is kept open; * When Monitoring menu pages perform background information refreshes; * If logging in with the Remember me for 30 days option checked. |
Refresh | Set the refresh rate used for graphs, screens, plain text data, etc. Can be set to 0 to disable. |
Rows per page | You can determine how many rows per page will be displayed in lists. |
URL (after login) | You can make Zabbix to transfer you to a specific URL after successful login, for example, the status of triggers page. |
