Onboarded User vs Reference/Local User

K has two types of users:

  • Onboarded: These are individuals that have been onboarded to K via the User Management Portal (e.g. KeyCloak or SSO) and logged into K at least once.

  • Reference/Local: There are users that have been detected by K in databases or tools that have been integrated to the K Platform. These users could be an User or a System account.

When K detects a new Reference/Local User, the default setting is to classify it as an ‘User'. A 'User’ is an individual / person.

It's important to review this setting and confirm if the usage is as an 'User' or 'System' as this impacts the K analytics that calculates Trust Score, Usage and Zone tags.

You can only update details for Reference/Local Users.

If you would like to modify the details of an onboarded user you will need to go to your User Management Portal (e.g. Keycloak or if using SSO, via the relevant SSO administration portal)
