# VRS X Security: Radar Privacy & User management

## User Management & Access Control

This section handles the security of your VRS X instance, allowing you to control who can view your radar data and who can modify server configurations.

### Radar Visibility

The **Web Server settings** defines the global reach of your radar map. You can find it under **Server Settings** option:

- **Web server port:** Port number on which radar will be accessible
- **Admin port**: WiP: Port number for Admin Panel - Admin port can be the same as Web Server Port, but mind the security
- **RADAR VISIBILTY:** defines if radar is private or public. If Radar Visibility is OFF, user login is required. If its ON, everyone can see the radar.

### User Management (IAM)

VRS X includes a basic Identity and Access Management (IAM) system. This allows an administrator to create dedicated accounts for other users or additional admins.

You can find this panel under **Users** in the sidebar.

</div></div></div></div>#### Administrator Actions

Administrators have the power to manage the user lifecycle at any time:

- **Toggle Role:** Instantly change a user's privileges between "User" and "Admin".
- **Reset PW:** Reset a user's password if they lose access.
- **Delete:** Permanently revoke access by deleting the account.

#### Creating New Users

Only an existing **Admin** can create new accounts.

1. Enter a **Username** (minimum 3 characters).
2. Assign a **Temporary Password** (minimum 6 characters).
3. Select the **Role** and click **Create User**.

> 💡 **First Login Policy:** To ensure account security, any new user **must change their password** upon their first login. If a user has not yet completed this step, their status will be displayed as **"Must change password"** in the management table.
