Adding members to the admin organization

As the Cloud Manager administrator, you can add and remove members of the Admin organization and assign roles to them. Once removed, a user can no longer access the Cloud Manager.

• To send an email invitation to a new user to register as a member of the Admin organization, complete the following steps:
  1. In the Cloud Manager, click Members.
     The list of current members for the Admin organization is displayed. You can view the owner of the Admin Organization by expanding View Owners.
  2. Click Add > Invite member.
  3. Enter a valid email address.
  4. Select the roles that you want to assign to the user.
  5. Click Invite. An email containing an activation link is sent to the email address inviting the person to register. The link opens the registration form. Alternately, you can copy and paste the activation link into an email; click Get Activation Link and click Copy in the pop up window.

     Note that the email server requires the Authenticate User and Authenticate Password values in order to send invitations. See Configuring an email server for notifications.

     The user is placed in Pending status, and is changed to Enabled status after they complete the registration form to activate their account. They can then log in to the Cloud Manager user interface with the API Connect user name that they specified during account activation.

     Note: If you use this option with a Local User Registry, and the user already exists in the registry, the user must re-activate their account by using the Sign In option, not by completing the registration form and using the Sign Up option; attempting to re-register will fail. This stipulation includes users that were previously members but were deleted from the admin organization.
• To specify the user and add them as a member of the Admin organization immediately, complete the following steps:
  1. In the Cloud Manager, click Members.
     The list of current members for the Admin organization is displayed. You can view the owner of the Admin Organization by expanding View Owners.
  2. Click Add > Add member.
  3. Select the required user registry
     The remaining procedure varies according to the type of the selected user registry, as follows:

     • Local User Registry
       1. Select whether the user is an Existing user or a New User.
          • For an existing user, complete the following steps:
            1. Enter the name of an existing API Connect user that has previously been invited to register and has activated their account.
            2. Select the roles that you want to assign to the user, then click Add. The user is added and their membership is immediately enabled. The specified user can log in to the Cloud Manager user interface.
          • For a new user, complete the following steps:
            1. Enter a unique user name for the new user.
            2. Supply an email address, name details, and a password.
            3. Select the roles that you want to assign to the user, then click Add. The user account is created, and the user membership is immediately enabled. The specified user can log in to the Cloud Manager user interface.
     • LDAP
       1. Enter the name of a user that exists in the selected user registry.
       2. Select the roles that you want to assign to the user, then click Add. The user is added, and the user membership is immediately enabled. The specified user can log in to the Cloud Manager user interface with their LDAP user name.
     • Authentication URL and OIDC
       1. Enter the name of an existing API Connect user that has previously been invited to register and has activated their account.
       2. Select the roles that you want to assign to the user, then click Add. The user is added, and the user membership is immediately enabled. The specified user can log in to the Cloud Manager user interface.
