There are three ways you can provide user access to Faddom via LDAP or with local users configured in the UI. From 2025.2 you can also generate an API token for integration with other systems such as Zabbix.
To connect your LDAP to Faddom when installed on Linux please see our Connecting Faddom to LDAP On Linux guide. For Windows, integrated Windows authentication is built in and is managed via AD groups. See the below guide on creating groups
Creating Roles
Go to Settings > Access Control
You can set Roles in the Faddom UI by opening New User and selecting Add New Role or by clicking on Edit Roles > New Role
You need to provide a name for the role, and select the permissions you want to grant, either full or partial for each feature. Also, you can choose whether this role applies to All Application Maps or Specific Application Maps
To use LDAP or Active Directory roles with Faddom, you create a role with a name that is identical to the role name in LDAP or AD. Any user that is a member of that role, will get the permissions in Faddom accordingly
Click Save and you will see the new role in the list
Creating A Local User
Click on New User
Provide a username, password, and one or more roles. If you have connected Faddom to LDAP or AD, then you do not need to set a password for the user, only use the name as it appears in the directory. If you have installed on Windows, there will not be a password field as Faddom will automatically connect to LDAP
Press Save and the new user will now show
You can also set the user to Active or Inactive by toggling the button at in the Status column. This is useful if you are using local users and a user has left your organisation or gone on an extended leave, for example, but you still need a record of their access.
Creating an API Token
Note: This is only available from 2025.2
Any user with Edit Permissions for Access Control can create a token, and its use is only limited by the role.
Navigate to Access Control
Click Create Token
Enter the Display Name
Select the Role you wish to provide
If you have multi-, select the Tenant. If you do not have multi-tenancy available, you will not see this option.
If you wish, set an expiry date. Make sure you note this so you can change the token in the future and update your integrations
Click Create Token
The token will be displayed, and you can click the eye to show it and the copy button to put it in your clipboard.
