About creating cloud tenants
As a cloud administrator, you create tenants and allocate resources to them in the form of iApps application templates. Tenants can then self-deploy the customized application templates to easily define network and application services for several devices, without requiring them to perform complicated networking procedures.
The process of providing resources for a tenant includes these tasks:
- Create a tenant - When you create a tenant, BIG-IQ Cloud creates a unique role for the tenant and populates it in the Role panel.
- Create a user - When you create a user, you assign a user name and a password.
- Associate a user with a tenant's role - You associate a user with a tenant to provide that user access to pre-defined cloud resources in the form of self-service customized applications.
Creating a tenant
For OpenStack tenants, you must provide admin user privileges to the tenant and the
project before they can access to cloud resources.
You create a tenant to provide access to customized cloud resources and
applications.
If you elected to have BIG-IQ Cloud create a new role for this cloud tenant, the new
role displays in the Roles panel. You can now associate a user with this tenant to
provide access to applications and services.
Creating a user
A user is an individual who will access specific resources.
You can now associate this user with an existing tenant to provide access to
pre-defined cloud resources.
Associating a user with a tenant's role
Before you associate a user with a tenant's role, you must first create the tenant.
You can associate multiple users with a tenant's role.
You associate user with a tenant's role to provide that user specific access to
cloud resources in the form of self-service applications.
In the Users panel, click the user name that you want to associate with a role
and drag and drop it onto that role, in the Roles panel.
This user now has access to all of the resources defined for the
associated role.
