Manage users and user groups


The procedures in this topic explain how you can create users and user groups in Portworx Backup with Keycloak and view them in PX-Backup Security.

Add users and user groups

  • Do not delete users and user groups that you added in the Keycloak.

To add users using Portworx Backup with Keycloak:
