REST User

Two types of users may be provisioned in Phantom, "automation" users and "normal" users. Automation users are excluded from general user queries by default. To include automation users you can either use a filter /rest/ph_user?_filter_type__in=["normal", "automation"] or as a convenience, use the GET parameter include_automation, for example: /rest/ph_user?include_automation.

/rest/ph_user

Manage users.

Syntax

https://<username>:<password>@<host>/rest/ph_user

POST

Create users.

The body of the request is a JSON object with the following fields.

allowed_ips optional JSON Array A whitelist of IPs (CIDR netmask allowed) for automation/service accounts to restrict Phantom server access with the associated token. Default is an empty list, or no access.
default_label optional string The default label to apply to containers created by an automation user. Only applies to automation/service accounts.
default_tenant_id optional integer The default tenant to apply to containers created by an automation user. Only applies to automation/service accounts. Is overridden by the asset's tenant id or an explicit tenant id.
