Chapter 2: Getting Things Ready with Zabbix User Management
In this chapter, we will work on creating our first user groups, users, and user roles. It's very important to set these up in the correct manner, as they will give people access to your Zabbix environment with the correct permissions. By going over these things step by step, we will make sure we have a structured Zabbix setup before continuing on with this book.
As a bonus, we will also set up some advanced user authentication using SAML to make things easier for your Zabbix users and provide them with a way to use the login credentials they might already be using throughout your company. We will go over all these steps in order of the following recipes:
- Creating user groups
- Using the new Zabbix user roles
- Creating your first users
- Advanced user authentication with SAML
