All users must belong to a user group. If you do not assign a user group to a user, the user will automatically be assigned to the default user group. You can select a user group to be the default group. For more information, see Configuring User Groups.
To add a user, complete the following:
- From the Cloud Services Portal, click Administration -> User Access.
- Select Users at the top Action bar, and click Create User.
- In the Create Users dialog, complete the following:
- Name: Enter the name of the user you want to add.
- Type: Choose one of the following user types:
- Interactive: Choose this to create a user who can sign in to the Cloud Services Portal. Interactive users can create their own API keys for API authentication purposes. For information, see Configuring User API Keys.
- Service: Choose this to create a service account used by an application or a virtual machine, not a person. Applications use service accounts to make authorized API calls. You can assign a service API key to a service account user to perform API calls for specific purpose. Each service user can be associated up to 10 service API keys. For information, see Configuring Service API Keys.
- Email: Enter the email address for the user.
From the AVAILABLE USER GROUPS table, select the user group(s) you want to assign to this user, and use the arrow to move the user group(s) to the SELECTED USER GROUPS table. To select all user groups, simply click >>. To deselect all the user groups, click <<.
Note
All users must belong to at least one user group. Ensure that you assign at least one user to the access control administrator user group (ib-access-control-admin). This user group has the permissions to view and configure users, user groups, and access policies when applied to the Access Control Administrators Role. For more information, see Managing Role-Based Access Control.
- Click Save & Close to add the user.
