FalkorDB Cloud lets you manage database users directly from the instance page. You can create additional users, assign them a built-in ACL preset or a custom Redis ACL rule, update their credentials or permissions, and delete users you no longer need.
Prerequisite: The instance must be in a running state before you can manage its users.
To manage the same users programmatically, see the Database users API.

​
Opening the User Access Tab

  1. Go to app.falkordb.cloud and sign in.
  2. Select your instance from the list.
  3. Click the User Access tab on the instance detail page.
The tab shows a table of all users configured on the instance, along with their assigned preset or ACL rule.

​
Default User

Every instance has a default user that is created automatically during deployment. This user cannot be deleted — its credentials can only be changed by modifying the instance configuration.

​
Creating a User

  1. From the User Access tab, click Add User.
  2. Fill in the required fields:
    • Username — the login name for the new user.
    • Password — a secure password for the user.
  3. Assign permissions using one of the two options:
    • ACL preset — select one of the built-in presets from the dropdown:
      • Admin — full read/write access and operations.
      • Read — read-only access to graphs.
      • Write — full read/write access to graphs.
      Each preset expands to a fixed ACL clause: See Presets for a breakdown of what these commands allow.
    • Custom ACL — enter a Redis ACL rule string directly to define fine-grained access control. See ACL for available rule syntax.
  4. Click Save to create the user.

​
Updating a User

  1. From the User Access tab, locate the user you want to update in the table.
  2. Click the Edit (pencil) icon next to the user.
  3. Modify the password, preset, or custom ACL as needed.
  4. Click Save to apply the changes.

​
Deleting a User

  1. From the User Access tab, locate the user you want to remove.
  2. Click the Delete (trash) icon next to the user.
  3. Confirm the deletion in the dialog that appears.
The default user cannot be deleted.
