Cloud users You can follow this guide to add credentials for public cloud for their your own tenant

Your tenant should have its own public cloud account for each cloud provider and it should not share an account with any other tenants.
You can add your credentials from an option on the User icon menu.

Before you begin, check your provider's documentation and pricing. You will need credentials to access the cloud provider's API.
We provide basic guides (see Obtain public cloud credentials) but you should always check with your provider. 

...

  1. For compute credentials, go to Public

  2. Select the Provider

    1. If your provider has different credentials for specific regions, select the appropriate region, for example "Amazon (CHINA)"

  3. For compute access, enter your credentials to access the cloud provider's API for compute features

    1. Access key ID: for example, this may be a Username, API access key ID or Subscription ID or another account identifier

      1. For Azure the format is subscription-id#app-id#tenant-id

      2. For Google the format is project_id#client_id#client_email#private_key_id

      3. For OCI the format is tenancy#user#fingerprint

    2. Secret access key: for example, this may be an API key, App secret key, or other API credential, such as an application password

    3. Optionally, for Amazon or Google, select Also use for pricing. See Add public cloud pricing credentials for a tenant

    OR 
    Optionally, for Amazon or Azure, select Only for billing

    1. In this case, your public cloud account must be under a reseller or partner account AND you do not require compute access. Enter the Access key ID as follows:

      • For Azure, the format is subscription-id##tenant-id

      • For AWS, the format is account-id

      • For the Secret access key, you can enter a random string

      (error) For a standalone customer account, do the steps at Add a customer AWS account for billing only instead.

  4. Click Add account. Abiquo will validate your credentials with the cloud provider before saving them.

The cloud provider credentials should then display in the Current credentials area.
Optionally, enter separate pricing credentials on the Pricing tab. See Add public cloud pricing credentials for a tenant

Note
  • If a provider does not display in the list, check with your system administrator.
    For vCloud Director the administrator must allow your tenant to access a region for it to display in the Provider list
