Create a User

Administrators can create new users directly from the IAM interface.

1. Select the organization in the resource tree and view the page on the right. Click IAM in the right pane, then select Users. Click Create User.

2. In the Details step, fill in the following fields:

   • Username (required): A unique identifier for the user within the organization.
   • Linux user (optional): If specified, this value is used for Linux user mapping when the user accesses node consoles.
   • Description (optional): A free-form text field to document the user’s purpose or role.
   • Enable (default: enabled): Toggle to create the user in an enabled or disabled state.
   • Expiry (optional): An optional expiration date after which the user will be automatically disabled.

3. Continue to the Access step to configure credentials. You can choose to set a password manually, have the system generate a random password, or leave the password blank to create the user without setting a password in this flow. The default random password options are a length of 16 characters, including uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.

4. Continue to the Summary step, review all entered values, and click Finish to create the user.

5. If creation succeeds with generated credentials, copy or download the generated password before closing. For security reasons, these values are not retrievable after closing the modal.
