Configure a Redis user for Infisical

1. Create a Redis user

   Infisical recommends creating a designated user in your Redis database for your connection.

   ACL SETUSER user_manager on >[ENTER-YOUR-USER-PASSWORD]
   
2. Grant Relevant Permissions

   Depending on how you intend to use your Redis connection, you’ll need to grant one or more of the following permissions.

   To learn more about Redis’s permission system, please visit their documentation.

   Secret Rotation

   For Secret Rotations, your Infisical user will require the ability to set and delete users:

   ACL SETUSER user_manager +acl|setuser +acl|deluser ~*
