When your enterprise has credentials for a public cloud provider, you can create a user account in a cloud provider. From here you can also click a link to access the cloud provider portal.

Abiquo displays the public cloud account identifiers on the Credentials tab.

To create a user:

1. Go to Users → Edit enterprise

2. Go to Credentials

3. For a provider with credentials that supports user creation, click Create user.
   The platform will send the following to the cloud provider:

   • Details from your user account, including the username and email

   • An automatically generated password

     • The administrator can configure the generation of the password with the "abiquo.guest.password.length" and "abiquo.guest.password.exclude" properties.

   The platform will create an event with the enterprise ID, user ID, user email, date/time, and cloud provider.
   The user in the provider will have the following permissions: 

   • Azure: built-in Owner role.

   • AWS: in the same groups as the current user.

   • vCloud: by default the same as the current user, so usually an Organization Administrator

     • The administrator can configure the role to assign with the "abiquo.vcd.org.userRoleName" property

4. The platform displays the user credentials only once and it does not store these credentials
