User Management

Overview

As explained here, there are two types of accounts: federated and local.

Prerequisites

Federated accounts

The management of federated accounts is done from the Cloud Client Area, in the Rights menu.

See the support pages of the Cloud Customer Center for more help on how to use this portal.

Local accounts

Local accounts are created directly in the vCloud Director portal with a “Local” type.

Accounts of type “SAML” are those that are federated and managed at the level of the Client Cloud Space. It is recommended that you do not remove them directly in vCD, but go through the ECC to do so.

Users are visible in the Administration > Users section.

The nbuser or nssuser user allows to synchronize vCD with NetBackup.

Do not delete or deactivate these user accounts.

You can create a new user by clicking on NEW.

  • Set user name, password and role
  • In the Quotas section, check ‘Unlimited options’.
