Manage users within your enrollment

Beta

Palantir’s self-service passwordless identity provider is in a beta state and may not be available on all enrollments. It is currently available for new enrollments configured for Developer Tier and AIP Bootcamps as of Summer 2024.

In most cases, your enrollment administrator will integrate your organization's existing identity provider with the Palantir platform so you can log in with the same credentials you use across other internal systems.

This page provides detailed guidance on how to access and manage user accounts within your enrollment when using Palantir's self-service user directory. The following instructions describe how to add new users, enable or disable existing accounts, and reset user accounts.

Access user management

To begin managing users within your enrollment, you will need to be an enrollment administrator or an authentication administrator. If you do not have one of these permissions, an existing enrollment administrator can grant you the relevant role.
