With Netmaker, you can invite users to your tenant to use or manage the VPN. In this guide, we’ll walk through the process of inviting and adding users to Netmaker’s SaaS version, which is a little different from the On-Prem version. Each step is labelled as Admin or User, indicating if the action is performed by the administrator, or the user being invited.
Your user must accept the pending invite before you can give them any permissions on the platform. They should receive an email like this, which will ask them to sign in and accept the invite.
If users do not already have an account, they must first create an account.
The tenant will appear with a login button, but they will not have any access yet. The admin must now grant them privileges.
If this is the intention, you are now done, and the user can log into the tenant.
If the user should only be granted VPN access, not platform access (for administrators), log back into your dashboard, go to the network, and go to the Remote Access Tab. Click “Add / Remove Users” on the Remote Access Gateway.
The user now has access to the VPN. They will need to download and install the Remote Access Client, following the steps in the docs. You can send them to https://docs.netmaker.io/pro/rac.html for instructions.Â
