Creating a User

Prerequisites

You have logged in to the Huawei Qiankun console and have one of the permissions of the following roles:

  • Preset role: tenant administrator permission
  • Custom role: user management permission of the user and tenant service

Context

By default, only the administrator of a workgroup can create users.

A common user can create users only after being assigned the user management permission.

Procedure

  1. Click your account in the upper right corner, and choose Permission Management > User Management. The User Management page is displayed.
  2. Click Create above the user list, configure user information based on Table 1, and click Next.

    Parameter

    Description

    Type

    • Local: refers to a common user.
    • Third-party: refers to a user who logs in to the console by invoking a northbound API. They are also known as northbound users.
    • Remote: refers to a Huawei website user.
    NOTE:

    Only users who have the user management permission of the user and tenant service in the root workgroup can create third-party system users.

    Authentication Mode

    Administrator authentication mode, which can be set to Password or SMS.

    Password

    Password of the user.

    Phone Number, Email Address

    Phone number or email address for receiving notifications and reports from Huawei Qiankun.

    Enable User

    This function is enabled by default. If this function is disabled, the user account cannot be used to log in to the console and the assigned permissions do not take effect.

    Password Change at Initial Login

    Forcibly asks a user to change the password at the initial login. This parameter is available only when Type is set to Third-party. This function is enabled by default.

    If this function is disabled, password change is optional upon the initial login.

  3. Select roles based on the site requirements, and click Finish.

    • By default, the role list displays all roles of the current login account.
    • To assign other roles, create them in advance by referring to Creating a Role.
