Also, using the “Add” button on the right top corner of the widget, you will be able to create new users.

  4. Check Admin checkbox to assign the user administrator privileges.

  5. Select tenant(s) from Tenants list and assign a tenant-specific role(s) for the user.

Assigning Users to Tenants

Starting with Cloudify 4.2, users must be assigned to tenants with a specific role for each tenant. The roles are sets of permissions defining what actions the users can perform in the context of the tenant. Users can have different roles in different tenants, and as long as at least one of those roles allows them to perform an action in the tenant, they will be able to perform it. The available tenant-roles are: viewer, user, operations and manager. For more information regarding each role and the differences between them, see Roles Management section.

  1. Click the List icon List icon on the far right of the user entry in the table that you want to add to a tenant.
  2. Click Edit user’s tenants.
  3. Select one or more tenants from the dropdown list.
  4. Select role for each tenant.
  5. Click Save.

The user is added to the specified tenants.
Unless the users have a deactivated status, they can perform actions on the tenant according to the specified role.
