Manage Public Cloud users
This guide explains how to manage users for your Public Cloud project.
Preamble
- To access a project's resources, it is necessary to create OpenStack type users (read below).
- These OpenStack users have no relation to Infomaniak Manager users.
- The username is automatically generated and communicated after creation.
- These OpenStack users are tied to a single project and cannot access multiple projects.
- All operations on users (addition, modification, deletion, etc.) are asynchronous and may sometimes take several minutes to complete.
Create a user for your Public Cloud
To create an OpenStack user once your Public Cloud has been ordered:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the product in question.
- Create a new Project.
- The user defined at the creation of your project will be in the form
PCU-XXXX
and you can assign it a description for your convenience.
User Password Management
The password for the OpenStack user can be set immediately upon creation or generated later using a link sent by email to the address of your choice.
To modify it later:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the product in question.
