How to create a user account & login¶
1. How to login to Cloud Create¶
Login using an IAM user account with the Tenant Administrator role (*). This is the same credentials when you log in to the web console, not the ICU account.
Figure 1. Login to Cloud Create using domain name, username, and password¶
Note
(*) To design and deploy the application, login with a user account with the role Tenant Administrator. Alternatively, if you only need to design the application, login with a user account with the role Tenant Guest. This is particular useful when you want a cloud architect to design the application for you but do not allow him or her to deploy anything in your tenant.
You cannot login?¶
You may login with an ICU account. ICU account is not supported.
You may have Virtual MFA Device enabled for login authentication. Please choose either SMS, Email, or disable it instead (Go to the console / click on username / My credentials / Login authentication).
2. How to choose a project¶
After logging in, you can choose a project, where you want to design and deploy your applications:

3. How to create an IAM user account¶
In case you do not have an IAM user account, please ask your domain administrator to create one for you. The following tutorial shows how to create a new user and assign the given user to a project in the IAM:
2.1. Create a project (optional, if you don't have one)¶
Login to the web console.
Go to: Identity Management
Figure 2. Identity Management¶
Go to: Projects
Go to: Create Project.
Input project name: eu-de_test
Figure 3. Create a project¶
2.2. Create a user group for the project¶
Go to: User Groups.
Go to: Create User Group
Input a group name: test
Figure 4. Create a user group¶
2.3. Set permissions for the new user group¶
Go to: User Groups
Search for the new group test.
Click Authorize.
Figure 5. Authorize the group test¶
In Step 1. Select Policy/Role, search for the role Tenant Administrator and select it.
Figure 6. Select role Tenant Administrator for the group¶
Tip
If you want a user to design the application for you but do not allow him or her to deploy anything in your project, select the role Tenant Guest instead.
In Step 2. Select Scope, choose Region-specific projects.
Search for the project eu-de_test and select it.
Figure 7. Select project eu-de_test for the group¶
Now users in the group test have the permissions to provision cloud resources in the project eu-de_test.
2.4. Create a new user in the user group¶
Go to: Users / Create User.
Figure 8. Input username 'testuser' and email address¶
In Step 2. Add User to Group, select the new group test.
Figure 8. Add user to group test¶
Now the new user testuser has the role Tenant Administrator to provision cloud resources in the project eu-de_test and can login to Cloud Create.
