Before you create a database user, you must [create a data access role]({{< relref "/operate/rc/security/access-control/data-access-control/create-roles" >}}) to assign to that user.

Create a user

To create a user:

  1. Go to Data Access Control from the Redis Cloud console menu.

  2. Select the Users tab.

  3. Select + to create a new user.

  4. Enter a username in the Username field.

    {{<note>}} An error occurs if a user tries to connect to a memcached database with the username admin. Do not use admin for a username if the user will be connecting to a memcached database. {{</note>}}

  5. Select a [Role]({{< relref "/operate/rc/security/access-control/data-access-control/create-roles" >}}) from the list.

    {{<image filename="images/rc/data-access-control-users-add-role.png" width="300px" alt="User select role." >}}

  6. Enter and confirm the user's password. ACL user passwords must be between 8 and 128 characters long.

    Then, select the check mark to save the user.
