Add users individually
Updated over 8 months ago

Overview

As an administrator, you can add users individually using the inSync Management Console. This option of adding users is useful when you have a single or few users that are manageable and can be added manually. There is no cap on the number of users that can be added to the portal.


💡 Tip

inSync also gives you the option to add users using API. Use 'Create a new user' API to automate user creation. Detailed information is available on Developer’s Documentation Portal - https://developer.druva.com.

Storage

Click storage where you want to back up the user data. If you do not select a storage, inSync selects the storage where inSync backs up the user's data.

Endpoint Quota

Type the maximum data that the backup and share folder of the user's devices can contain. If the data exceeds the quota, backup or share operations from user devices fail. If you do not want to set any restriction on the amount of data that the user can back up or share, type 0 (zero).


📝 Note
By default, the quota assigned to the profile is set as the user quota. You can assign a different quota for the user that you are creating. If you update the endpoint quota, updates that administrators make to the profile quota are not applicable for this user.
