Manage virtual data center users

When you create a virtual data center, a user with the administrator role is automatically created. You can create additional users and grant them access to virtual data centers.

Create user⁠

  1. From the Control Panel, open the Cloud Director panel: from the top menu, click Products → VMware-based Cloud → Cloud Director.
  2. Log in to Cloud Director with an administrator account. To view the administrator credentials and reset the password, go to the Control Panel: VMware Cloud → Users.
  3. Open the Administration tab.
  4. Go to Access Control → Users.
  5. Click New.
  6. Enter the user's name, password, and role. A user with the Organization Administrator role always has access to all data centers in the organization.
  7. Click Save. The new user appears in the Control Panel under the Users tab.

Grant user access to the virtual data center⁠

  1. In the Dashboard, on the top menu, click Products and select VMware-based Cloud.
  2. Go to the Users section.
  3. In the user card, open the Access to Virtual Data Centers tab.
  4. In the row with the virtual data center you want to grant access to, turn on the toggle switch.

Change user password⁠

  1. In the Dashboard, on the top menu, click Products and select VMware-based Cloud.
  2. Go to the Users section.
  3. In the user card, open the Reset Password tab.
  4. Enter a new password or click Generate.
  5. Copy or memorize the password. Once the password is saved, it cannot be viewed.
  6. Click Save.
