Configure User Account Details

The My Account page allows users to configure basic user information, SSH keys, and API tokens. Users can also view the current user role and the associated privileges.

Ensure securely configuring privileges for a user to access Edges. Choose Basic access level for the user. Configure the access level when creating a new user in User Management, and opt to modify it at a later point in time. Only a Superuser can modify the access level for a user.

To access the My Account page, perform the following steps:

  1. Select the User icon in the Global Navigation.
    The User Information panel appears:
    Figure 1. User Information
  2. Select My Account. The following screen appears:

  8. Enter a Name and Description for the token, then choose the Lifetime from the menu.
  9. Select the SSH Keys tab to configure a Secure Shell (SSH) key-based authentication.
    The SSH key-based authentication provides a secure and robust authentication method to access VeloCloud Edges. It provides a strong, encrypted verification and communication process between users and Edges. Using SSH keys bypasses the need to manually enter login credentials and automates the secure access to Edges.
    Note:
    • Both the Edge and the Orchestrator must be using Release 5.0.0 or later for this feature.
    • Users with Operator Business or Business Specialist account roles cannot access Edges using key-based authentication.
