This loads a page with three tabs:

  • Account

  • Groups & Permissions

  • SSH Keys

Account

The Account tab has options for changing your account details, password, and space.

Account fields

First name

Your first name.

Last name

Your last name.

Email

Your email address.

Role

This value describes your role in the management application. It can only be set by an administrator.

Notify on aggregator failover

If checked, you will be sent an email when an aggregator fails or recovers, if the aggregator is in your home space or a descendant of your home space. You do not receive notifications from aggregators assigned a space above your home space.

Password

To change your password, provide your current password in the proper field, type your new password twice, and click Change Password.

Space

The space control allows you to set your effective space. This allows you to pretend as if your account is assigned to a child space of your actual home space, using the child space’s branding options and being limited to only seeing objects within that space.

You can reset your current space to your home space at any time using this control.

You are able to view and manage resources within your current space and its descendant spaces.

Groups & Permissions

The Groups & Permissions tab shows the names of the groups to which your account is assigned, as well as the permissions granted to your account due to your group membership.

Your permissions are the same within every space to which you have access. For example, if you have permission to add and update aggregators in your home space, you have that permission even if you set your effective space to a child space.

SSH Keys

The SSH Keys tab allows you to view and control the keys you can use to access nodes.

Adding a New Key

  1. Generate a new key using ssh-keygen

  2. Copy your public key using xclip -sel clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

  3. Paste into the text area under the ‘Add Key’ header

  4. Press the ‘Save’ button to add the key to your account

Account Keys

Your active keys are listed under the ‘Account Keys’ header. The first column shows the set comment for each key. The second column is an MD5 hash representation of the key.

Clicking the trash icon on the far right will delete the key. If you need to use a key that you previously deleted just re-add the key using the ‘Add Key’ text area.
