Users

A user is the logical representation of a person within Peridio. Users can belong to multiple organizations and interact with the platform through the web console, CLI, or API.

User Identification​

Users in Peridio are identified by their email address, which serves as their primary login credential. Each user has:

  • Email: Unique identifier used for authentication
  • Username: Display name shown in the platform
  • Organization Memberships: Users can belong to multiple organizations

Authentication​

Peridio supports authentication via:

  • Email and Password: Traditional login method
  • API Keys: For programmatic access and automation

User Access Control​

Users are granted access to organizations and resources through a granular permission system. User creation and access management are handled via the Peridio Console.

User Identity​

You can check your current user identity using the CLI:

peridio users me

This returns information about the currently authenticated user.

API Keys​

API keys provide programmatic access to the Peridio platform. API keys are managed via the Peridio Console.
