Manage Public Cloud Users
This guide explains how to manage users for your Public Cloud project.
Introduction
- To access a project's resources, you need to create OpenStack users (see below).
- These OpenStack users are not related to Infomaniak Manager users.
- The user's username is generated automatically and is provided after its creation.
- These OpenStack users are linked to a project, so they cannot access multiple projects.
- All operations on users (adding, modifying, deleting, etc.) are asynchronous and may sometimes take several minutes to complete.
