CHAPTER 1
About This Guide
This guide is intended for domain administrators and project members and explains how to manage project
users and compute resources using the self-service panel.
1
CHAPTER 2
Logging in to the Self-Service Panel
To log in to the self-service panel, do the following:
1. Visit the panel’s IP address on port 8800.
2. Enter your domain name (case sensitive) as well as user name and password. Alternatively, if you are
given the link to the self-service panel for a specific domain, you will only need to provide the user name
and password.
2
CHAPTER 3
Managing Users and Projects
A user can be assigned one of the following roles:
• A domain administrator can manage virtual objects in all projects within the assigned domain as well as
project and user assignment in the self-service panel.
• A project member acts as a project administrator in a specific domain in the self-service panel. A project
member can be assigned to different projects and can manage virtual objects in them.
You can create, view, and edit users on the All users tab. Creating a user account differs slightly depending
on the user role and is described in the following sections.
To edit the user credentials or permissions, click the ellipsis button next to the user and then click Edit.
Enabling and disabling a user account means allowing and prohibiting user login, respectively.
To enable/disable or remove a user, click the corresponding ellipsis button and select the desired action.
3.1 Creating Users
To create a user, do as follows:
1. Select the domain in the drop-down list in the top right corner.
2. Switch to All users and click Create user.
3. In the Create user window, specify the user name, password, and, if required, a user e-mail address
and description. The user name must be unique within a domain.
4. Select the desired role from the Role drop-down menu.
3
5. Click Create.
Chapter 3. Managing Users and Projects
3.2 Assigning Users to Projects
Domain administrators can manage project members’ assignment on the All projects and All users screens.
To assign a user to a project, do one of the following:
• On the All projects screen:
1. Click the project to which you want to assign users (not the project name).
2. On the project panel, click Assign members.
3. In the Assign members window, choose one or multiple users to assign to the project. Only user
accounts with the Project member role are displayed. Optionally, click Create project member to
create a new project member in a new window.
4. Click Assign.
4
• On the All users screen:
Chapter 3. Managing Users and Projects
1. Click the user account with the Project member role whom you want to assign to the project.
2. On the user panel, click Assign to project.
3. On the Assign user to projects window, select one or multiple projects and click Assign.
To unassign a user from a project, do one of the following:
• On the All projects screen:
1. Click the project to unassign users from.
2. On the project panel, open the Members tab.
5
3. Click the cross icon next to a user you want to unassign.
Chapter 3. Managing Users and Projects
• On the All users tab:
1. Click the user to unassign from the project.
2. On the user panel, open the Projects tab.
3. Click the cross icon next to the project from which you want to unassign the user.

Chapter 3. Managing Users and Projects
3.3 Viewing Project Quotas
Each project is allocated a certain amount of compute resources by means of quotas. To view quotas of a
project, open PROJECTS, click the desired project in the list, and switch to the Quotas tab.

CHAPTER 4
Managing Compute Resources
4.1 Managing Virtual Machines
Each virtual machine (VM) is an independent system with an independent set of virtual hardware. Its main
features are the following:
• A virtual machine resembles and works like a regular computer. It has its own virtual hardware.
Software applications can run in virtual machines without any modifications or adjustment.
• Virtual machine configuration can be changed easily, e.g., by adding new virtual disks or memory.
• Although virtual machines share physical hardware resources, they are fully isolated from each other
(file system, processes, sysctl variables) and the compute node.
• A virtual machine can run any supported guest operating system.
The following table lists the current virtual machine configuration limits:
Table 4.1.1: Virtual machine hardware
Resource Limit
RAM 1 TiB
CPU 48 logical CPUs
Storage 15 volumes, 512 TiB each
Network 15 NICs
A logical CPU is a core (thread) in a multicore (multithreading) processor.

4.1.2 Creating Virtual Machines
Before you proceed to creating VMs, check that you have these:
• A guest OS source (see Managing Images (page 19)):
•
a distribution ISO image of a guest OS to install in the VM, or
