Video: Add a User and select a Role

A CloudConnexa user represents a person who can connect to your WPC. Typically, users include employees, contractors, and other third parties requiring access to your WPC resources. These users use the OpenVPN Connect app or any OpenVPN protocol-compliant clients on desktops, laptops, or mobile devices to connect to any CloudConnexa Region and access WPC resources.

A user is associated with one of the following roles: owner, administrator, or member. The owner role is automatically assigned to the user, who has the right to administer and configure all aspects of the WPC. The owner's identity is linked to the email used to sign up for CloudConnexa service. Remember that only an owner can manage the billing and subscription aspects of the service.

When it comes to admin, this role has the same privileges as the owner, except they won't be able to manage subscriptions or billing and can't change or delete the owner's account.

The last role is a member. This role has no special admin privileges, and it's intended for users who simply use the service as configured.

Users need to be provisioned either through the admin portal or the API, when CloudConnexa is used for authentication. So, in this video, we're looking at how to create a user and select the role for that user. I'm logged into the admin user interface. I'm just going to expand users and then click on users. We don't have any users configured in this environment, so I will click on Add User in the upper right corner. Then we're gonna give a username for our user. We can choose the groups. We have accounting and default in this environment if you have any groups configured here. I'm just gonna leave it as a default for now.

The roles here are where we can choose whether Nikki will be part of the admin or members. So, she's gonna be a member. I'm just gonna leave it as it is. Then the next three fields are optional, but we'll enter the information here. So, I will enter Nikki's first name, last name, and email address. And then click on Add User. Now we can see Nikki's account is added here. She's gonna get an email with the instructions on how to download the Connect app, import her profile, and connect to WPC. So this is how we add a user to Cloud Connection, and we select the role for that user. Thank you very much.
