Managing Users

The web UI manages the people who can sign in to Dokku Pro - their passwords, SSH keys, and password reset links. See User Management for the underlying model and the CLI.

From the UI you can:

  • Create a user with an optional initial password, and delete one with a typed confirmation. Deleting a user returns you to the user list and shows a toast; the user is marked "deleting" in the list until the removal finishes and it drops out.
  • View whether a user has a password set, their SSH key fingerprints, and their password reset URL and token.
  • Generate or refresh a password reset token, which produces a single-use link the user can visit to set their own password.
  • Set a user's password directly.
  • Manage SSH keys, when viewing your own user or when signed in as an administrator.
  • Audit the user's recent commands across all apps and services on an Activity tab, visible to that user or to an administrator.

The root user is protected: it cannot be deleted, and its password and reset token cannot be changed through the UI.
