Managing Users

There are two types of users in Control Center:

  • Admin users - can manage users (lock/unlock accounts, grant admin privileges, etc.), as well as update the Control Center license

  • Regular (non-admin) users - can log in and monitor clusters

The person who activates a Control Center installation automatically becomes an admin user.

The admin users have access to the User Management tab of the Admin screen, where they can create and manage users.

To display this tab, click Admin on the left-hand-side navigation bar.
