Manage Users

Overview

Information: You can import, add, and manage users if you are a Cloud or a Tenant Administrator.

If you are an administrator, you can add or import Users to the HyperCloud^TM Platform (HCP). Adding or importing new users allows them to access HCP features. You can add users at the Group, Role, or the Tenant level. A user inherits the access based on the role assigned while adding a user to the HCP portal. You can change these accesses and permissions anytime.
Example: If you add a user with a Tenant Administrator role, the user can view other Tenant Administrators and Users.

You can add or modify users at the level for which you have the edit permission. You can also delete and deactivate users. If you are a user with edit permission, then you can delete another user. This document guides you through these features below.
