How to Register Users(for Administrators)
This section covers the overall administrator operations necessary to operate Cloud Bouquet, including creating user groups, registering and deleting administrators/users, and setting available regions.
Administrators are responsible for preparing the user environment and appropriately managing various settings during operation.
1. Basic Administrator Operations
Cloud Bouquet allows you to set 2 types of privileges:「Administrator」 and 「User」.
When introducing the service, at least one administrator must be initially registered. Operations performed by the initially registered administrator enable the registration of other administrators and users, as well as various settings.
The basic operations performed by an administrator are as follows:
- Creation, editing, and deletion of user groups.
- Registration, editing, and deletion of administrators and users.
- Point transfer between any user group wallets.
- Setting available regions for each user group.
2. Creating User Groups
User groups are used to collectively manage administrators and users by project or organizational unit, and to differentiate the units for available servers and points.
The steps are as follows.
