Creating a User for a Roving Edge Infrastructure Device

• Console
• CLI
• API

• 1. Open the navigation menu and select Identity Management > Users. The Users page appears. All users are listed in tabular form.

  2. Click Create User. The Create User dialog box appears.

  3. Enter the following:

     • Name: A unique name or email address for the user. The name must be unique across all users in your tenancy. You cannot change this value later. The name must meet the following requirements: No spaces. Only Basic Latin letters (ASCII), numerals, hyphens, periods, underscores, +, and @.

     • Description: This value could be the user's full name, a nickname, or other descriptive information. You can change this value later.

  4. Click Create. The new user appears in the User page. Next, you must access a secret key from the new user's UI console OAuth 2.0 client credential and forward it to the intended user. This key is the user's login password for accessing the Device Console.

  5. Click the user entry in the User page. The user's Details page appears.

  6. Click OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials on the left side of the page. The OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials page appears. By default, only the UI-console-oauth-credential is present in the list of OAuth 2.0 client credentials for a newly created user.

  7. Click UI-console-oauth-credential. The UI-console-oauth-credential's Details page appears.

  8. Click Regenerate Secret. The Regenerate OAuth 2.0 Client Credential dialog box appears, displaying the new password for the user.

  9. Copy the generated secret and store it for your records. You cannot display this secret key after the dialog box is closed.

  10. Click Close to close the dialog box.

  11. Forward the secret key to the intended user. This key acts as the initial password for the user. The user can reset their Device Console login password by repeating the steps to regenerate a secret key within their user account.

  New users created through the Device Console are automatically assigned to the default Administrators group. Now you need to give the user the credentials they need. See User Credentials for Roving Edge Infrastructure.
