## `EMERGENCY_USERS`

Option | `EMERGENCY_USERS`
Description | Enables emergency users in case of issues with identity provider
Default | `false`

If there are issues with the identity provider that LogScale is configured to use, then you might not be able to log in to LogScale. To mitigate this, LogScale provides emergency users that can be created locally within the LogScale cluster.

To enable emergency users, this environment variable must be set to `true`:

ini

    EMERGENCY_USERS=true

This enables the emergency API endpoint found at `/api/v1/emergency`. This API can be used by any user with root access on the LogScale instance to create and manage emergency users.
