User Management¶
LuceDev Syslog supports multiple user accounts with role-based access control.
Roles¶
| Role | Dashboard & Logs | Export Logs | Audit Trail | Settings | Users | Restart Service |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Admin | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Viewer | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
| Auditor | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ |
- Admin — Full access to all features including settings, user management, audit trail, and service restart.
- Viewer — Can only view dashboard and logs.
- Auditor — Can view dashboard, logs, export logs, and access the audit trail, but cannot modify settings or manage users.
Creating Users¶
- Go to Settings → Users
- Click Add User
- Fill in the username, password, and select a role
- Click Create
Resetting Passwords¶
Admins can reset another user's password from the Users tab:
- Click the Reset PW button next to the user
- Enter a new temporary password (or click Generate for a random one)
- Confirm the password in the second field
- Click Reset Password
The user will be required to set a new password on their next login.
Admin Self-Reset
Admins cannot reset their own password from the Users panel. To change your own password, use the password change feature from your profile.
Deleting Users¶
Click the Delete button next to a user and confirm. This action cannot be undone. The user's audit trail entries are preserved.
Default Account¶
The application ships with a single admin account:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Username | admin |
| Password | password |
You are required to change this password on first login.
Change the Default Password
Always change the default admin password immediately after installation, especially if the dashboard is accessible from other machines on your network.
