User Management

Users with the administrator role can create, edit, delete and log out locally-defined users, as well as change their passwords.

User profiles include the following details and options:

• Username
• First Name (optional)
• Last Name (optional)
• Email (optional)
• Password
• Roles

Cloning User Profiles

Instead of entering all details for a new user, you can clone an existing one, give it a new name and customize it.

Creating User Profile

1. From the AOS web interface, navigate to Platform / User Management / Users, then click Create User.
2. Enter a username and password, then select one or more roles. If custom roles have been created, they appear as options along with the predefined roles that ship with AOS. You can see the permissions specified for each of the roles at Platform / User Management / Roles.
3. Click Create to create the user profile and return to the list view.

Use Case 1: Only Create Virtual Networks (not Including Allocating Resources)

To limit a user’s role to only creating virtual networks and looking at blueprint details, assign them the role as described in Role Management: Use Case 3.

Use Case 2: Create Virtual Networks and Allocate Resources

To allow a user to create virtual networks and allocate resources to them, you must assign them multiple roles. See role management use case 3A and 4 for more information.
