Creating and managing users

As a cloud tenant administrator you can add cloud end users or a cloud tenant administrator in a tenant. You can also assign quota to the cloud users in the tenant. The cloud end users can log on to the BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management – My Cloud Services Console to request services. 

As a cloud tenant administrator, you can be assigned multiple tenants. You can further create a tenant administrator and assign multiple tenants (which are already assigned to you) to the user. The multitenant administrator can perform all administrative actions across all tenants assigned to the user. For more information about the capabilities and limitations of the tenant administrator with multiple tenants, see Getting started by user role.

Adding users to a tenant

As a cloud tenant administrator, you can create a Cloud tenant administrator or a Cloud end user for the tenant. You can also create a cloud multitenant administrator, which is an administrator who is assigned multiple tenants. 

To add users

1. From the Tenant Administration Console, click the Administration tab.
   From the list of cloud users, a user is selected by default and the details for the particular user, such as the name, address, role, logon ID, and quota details, are displayed. 
2. Click Add User  to add a new user.
3. In the Add New User dialog box, enter the requested information. 
   The fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.
   1. In the Basic Information area, enter the First Name, Last Name, Email Address, and Phone Number for the user.
      By default, the selected tenant is displayed.  
   2. In the Login ID, Password, and Confirm Password fields, enter a unique logon ID and an appropriate password for the user.
      The cloud user uses the logon ID and password to log on to BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management – My Cloud Services Console later. 
   3. From the Role list, select the role for the user. 
      If you are a cloud tenant administrator, you can create a cloud tenant administrator, or a cloud end user. For more information about the activities that each type of user can perform, see Getting started by user role.
   4. To force the user to change the password after the user logs on to the My Cloud Services Console for the first time, select the Force Password Change On Login check box. 
   5. To allocate limited quota to the user, perform the following steps in the Allocation area.
      By default, the Maximum check box is selected and the user is allocated maximum quota. For more information about quota, see Setting and managing quota.
      
      1. Clear the Maximum check box for the Server, CPU Count, Memory (GB), and the Local Storage (GB) fields.
      2. In the User Quota text box of the Server field, enter the number of servers that you want to assign to the user. 
      3. In the User Quota text box of the CPU Count field, enter the number of CPUs that you want to assign to the user.
      4. In the User Quota text box of the Memory (GB) field, enter the memory in GB that you want to assign to the user.

      5. In the User Quota text box of the Local Storage (GB) field, enter the hard disk in GB that you want to locally assign to the servers in the user. 

         Warning

         The value for any of the User Quota fields must not exceed the Available to Allocate quota value and should be more than the user's actual usage; otherwise, the quota will not be allocated.
