User Management Activities
This document describes the process of creating a user and assigning that user to a data container. It also provides an overview of the User Details page.
Creating a User
- From the Management application, select Manage.
- Select Users.
User Manager - Click + to add a new user.
- To make an existing Delphix Engine user a Delphix Self-Service user, select the user from the list.
- Enter the appropriate information.
- From the User Type drop-down menu, select Jet Stream Only.
User Creation - Press Submit.
The user is now a Delphix Self-Service user! They can now login to the Delphix Self-Service user interface, and you can make them the owner of a data container.
Notes
- Users will only be able to access the Data Management page. They will not be able to access the other portions of the Delphix Self-Service interface, nor the Management application.
- A Delphix admin user cannot be made a Jet Stream Only user. However, admins can still use Delphix Self-Service and own a data container. Admins are also able to manage all data containers.
- A user who owns one or more data containers cannot be deleted.
- For the list of data containers that a given user owns, see User Details.
- You cannot revoke a user's Jet Stream Only role if they own any data containers.
- For the list of data containers that a given user owns, see User Details.
Changing Default Locale
- In the Add New User window, select the Locale drop-down menu.
- Select the user's new default locale.
Assigning a User to a Data Container
This section describes how to assign a user (created in the previous section) to a data container. Making a user the owner of a data container allows them to perform operations such as Refresh on that data container. Users cannot see or manipulate data containers that they do not own. You can either assign a user when creating a new data container, or modify the owner of an existing data container.
Case 1: Assigning a user to a new Data Container
- Navigate to the Overview page.
- Select a template from which you want to create the data container.
This will take you to the Data Template page. - In the upper right-hand corner of the screen, click Add Container.
- Optional: Enter information about the data container, such as the Name and Description.
- Select the Owners for the data container from the search box. It is acceptable to have multiple owners for each data container.
- Select the VDBs to use for this container's data sources and Save.
Case 2: Changing the owner of an existing Data Container
- On the Management Overview page, select the data template from which the data container was provisioned.
- Click the Containers tile in the left-hand panel.
- Select the trash can icon next to the user name.
- Click the Plus icon.
Data container editing - Select the desired owner from the drop-down list.
The user you selected is now the owner of the data container and can perform operations on that data container.
A data container can only have one owner at a time.
User Details Page
- On the Management Overview page, click the Users tab.
Users Overview - Select the name of the desired user to go to their User Details page.
The following sections will display important information:
| Section | Information displayed |
|---|---|
| Operation Counts By Week graph | Shows the aggregate of all Delphix Self-Service operations performed this user has performed on all of their containers. |
| Container Age Distribution graph | Shows the average time since a data operation was performed on all of the user's containers |
| Containers | Lists all containers that the user owns |
