Users administration Guide
Contenido
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".
There is a green button called "Add new user" that lets you add a new user.
User info
Input user First Name, Last Name, email, password and password confirmation.
Selecting a custom role
Select from the list one by one the access permissions for the user. Selecciona de la lista una a una las opciones de permisos de acceso por usuario.
The access is given over a sole product.
Selecting permissions one by one
Through each tab you can have a granular control over the permissions of the user you are adding.
The access is over every units we have of that same product.
You can access the Permissions section to get a description of each tab.
Removing a user
In the "Manage users" tab there is a listing containing every user that you have previously added. At the end of each line, to the right, there is a "Remove" option (a red waste bin) that you may use to remove users one by one.
Modifying a user
You can modify the First Name the Last Name or the email of the user you want from the list by clicking over the field you want to change.
MANAGE ROLES
The system allows you to create up to 50 different roles. This means that you can define 50 standard lists in cluding a series of predetermined permissions. From the "Manage roles" tab you can add a new role, list it, clone it, remove it or edit it.
New role
In the "Manage roles" tab click "Add new role".
The form lets you specify name and description of the role as well as the access permissions you want to give to it.
Once the roles are created, in the "Manage roles" tab you will have a list of every roles you have created. In this tab you have available the following operations:
- Display a role: the "Display" option lets you see a role, but not modify it, as the fields are locked.
- Clone a role: "Clone" option lets you duplicate an existing role. You can modify it as you wish.
- Remove a role: "Remove" option lets you remove a role.
