Managing User Accounts

There are three types of user accounts in Verizon Connect Flows:
 

•Developers can create and manage all aspects of flows.
•Administrators have the same access as Developers, but they can also create new Developer accounts.
•SFTP Users only have FTP access to flows to which they have been assigned. They cannot use their credentials to sign in to Verizon Connect Flows.

Creating Developer Accounts

Only an Administrator can create Developer accounts. Either sign in as an Administrator to follow these steps, or ask your company Administrator to set up an account for you.
 

1.From the Developer Console, click your username in the upper right corner of the screen, then select "Register developer".
2.Enter the new developer details.
3.Click Submit.
4.Provide the developer account information to the new user.

Creating Administrator Accounts

Every company account has at least one Administrator. To create additional Administrator accounts for your company, you must contact your Verizon Connect account manager for assistance.

Creating SFTP Users

Both Developers and Administrators can create SFTP Users. See Adding FTP input to a flow for more information about how FTP access works.
 

1.From the Developer Console, click your username in the upper right corner of the screen, then select "Add Secure FTP user".
2.Enter the new user details, including the username and password, then click Submit.
3.If this user will connect using an SSH key, click Generate new key pair to generate the key.

You can generate the SSH key at any time. Click your username, then Edit Secure FTP users to return to this screen..

Allowing SFTP Users to Use Subdirectories

You can configure multiple SFTP users for a flow node to use subdirectories, so that the users cannot see each other's files. SFTP users with subdirectory use enabled have an SFTP home folder of /home/flow/ftp/[uuid]/, where [uuid] is a random identifier assigned to the user.

Users without subdirectory use continue to be able to see all files. Their SFTP home folder is /home/flow/ftp/.

You can enable subdirectory use when you create a new SFTP user or edit an existing SFTP user. To do this follow these steps:
 

1.Go to the Developer Console and click your username in the upper right corner of the screen.
2.Select "Add Secure FTP user" or "Edit Secure FTP users".
3.Select the Use a subdirectory check box.
4.Click Submit.
