Manage Splunk On-Call users 🔗
In order to add or delete users in the Splunk On-Call platform, you must either have the Global Admin role for global add or remove permissions or the Team Admin role for team-specific add or remove permissions.
Inviting User to Splunk On-Call 🔗
Inviting users to Splunk On-Call can be done via the Public API or via the Users tab by clicking “Invite User”.
When inviting users in the web UI, users are invited via their email and are able to create their own username.
To invite users via the API, Global Admin permissions are needed. Global admins will be able to set the user username when inviting users using the API.
Adding User to a Team 🔗
Global Admins or Team Admins of the team are able to invite users to a team by selecting “Invite User” on the team’s page.
Adding Users to a Shift 🔗
Once a rotation has been created with one or more shifts, users can be added to each shift by selecting the people icon next to the shift’s name.
注釈
Users must be apart of the team before they are able to be added to a shift.
Removing Users 🔗
How user replacement is suggested by Splunk On-Call? 🔗
When deleting a user from a team or organization:
Find all the teams the user is part of or teams in which the user took scheduled overrides or manual on-call.
For each team:
If the user is not part of on-call rotation or escalation policies in the team, then the user is removed from the team. Otherwise proceed to the next step.
Look for an admin in the team in this order: Team Admin, Alert Admin, Global Admin, Non-admin.
Users who have mobile devices registered for push notification or verified phone numbers in their profile are given preference.
If there are more than one user resulting from the above two steps, then pick the first user after sorting on username A->Z.
Place the resulting user as replacement for removed user in scheduled overrides, on-call rotations and escalation policies
The replacement user is notified by email. In the email they get a list of rotations, escalation policies that were changed and also are told if any overrides changed.
Manual user selection as replacement for user to be removed 🔗
If the manually selected user for replacement is not part of the team, then the user will be added to the team and replace the removed user in respective on-call rotations and escalation policies.
Removing a User from a Shift 🔗
To remove a user on a shift, click on the people icon next to the shift name and select to the “x”
Removing a User from a Team 🔗
On the team’s page under the Users tab, a trash icon next to the user’s name will delete them from the team.
As a fail-safe, when a user is being removed from a team, a replacement user is required to fill any holes the user being removed will open up. If the user being removed was deleted from all shifts they were apart of, the “replacement” user will act as a wash.
