How to register users (for administrators)
Cloud Bouquet allows you to set two types of privileges: administrator and user. Administrators are granted administrator privileges. This section describes how to operate as an administrator. When installing Cloud Bouquet, at least one or more administrators must be initially registered during the installation process. Cloud Bouquet can be used by the administrator who has been registered for the first time.
1. basic administrator operations
The administrator can register new administrators and users. Registered administrators and users will be able to use Cloud Bouquet.
2. creation of user groups
To register administrators and users, you must first register user groups.
A user group is a setup for grouping administrators and users by any group (department, project members, etc.) and assigning them to available servers.
First, user groups are created, then account information for each administrator and user is created and tied to a user group.
To register a user group, log in to Cloud Bouquet and select
TIPS!
Immediately after you start using the software, one user group (group name: default) is registered for administrative user registration. The default user group can be used freely.
Then select the 《Group》 tab displayed at the top.
From the [+Add User Group] button that appears on the right, you can begin registering user groups.
［Click the [+Add User Group] button to display the [Add a New User Group] (Create User Group screen).
To create a user group, fill in the required information on the screen and select the [Add] button at the bottom.
［By clicking the [Cancel] button, the registration operation is canceled.
A summary of each item is as follows
| Item Name | Description |

| Available Server Groups | Set the server groups that the user group can use. Users and administrators belonging to the user group can use the servers in the server groups set here. Multiple server groups can be selected. (As a general rule, server groups are set up with a group of servers for each region. (In principle, a server group is a group of servers for each region. For example, if you add more regions, the number of server groups you can choose from will increase.) |
TIPS!
When you create a user group, a wallet for the user group is automatically created. For instructions on how to move points to a user group, see How to Manage Points.
