Add a user and assign RBAC policies

You can add any number of users to Cloud Snapshot Manager accounts. Some of the users can be assigned administrative tasks and some of them can be restricted to specific tasks such as to view events and reports.

Prerequisites

You should be logged in to the Dell Technologies network and also into Cloud Snapshot Manager.

NOTE: There are some things to be aware of about added users:
  • The user must have a valid Online Support registered user.
  • The logged in user cannot delete the user's own Cloud Snapshot Manager account.
  • When users are added, they receive a notification email.

About this task

For every tenant, there is an integrated Super Admin user available with full access control over Cloud Snapshot Manager. The Super Admin can add other administrators to delegate management responsibilities.

It is recommended to add more than one user with the Super Admin policy assigned. If one of the users with the Super Admin policy assigned is corrupted, another Super Admin user can perform critical tasks while the other user is being recovered.

While adding the user, only the following can be used to create the username:

  • Letters - Uppercase and lowercase letters (A-Z, a-z). Letters in any language too are allowed. For example, Greek and Russian.
  • Numerals - 0-9
  • Special characters - period{.}, underscore{_}, hyphen{-}, and single quote{'}.

Steps

  1. In the left navigation pane of the Cloud Snapshot Manager portal, under Identity and Access, select Users and click New User.
  2. Specify a name for the user and provide the user's email address.
  3. (Optional) Select one or more RBAC policies.
  4. Click Save.
