Introduction

Gigas offers every Cloud VPS and Cloud Datacenter client the complete management of infrastructures through a simple and powerful control panel. To ease the management of the access to this panel, we have included a new functionality to manage users.

Thanks to this service, the client will be able to limit access permissions to the Gigas cloud platform that allows a better internal management and control of it. This functionality is included on the menu under the client name, under the option "Users".


MANAGE USERS

Users mananagement comprises user creation, deletion and modification. There is a limit regarding the number of users you may manage, with a maximum of 100.

How to create a user

Before, you have to register every user whose access you want to control. Once "Users" option is selected in your client menu (your register name), a new screen will appear letting you "Manage users" and "Manage roles".
