Create User
Platform9 users exist across your cloud with roles and privileges defined for each region and tenant. Platform9 users are able to hold multiple roles across tenants and regions, meaning that a user could be an administrator of one region and tenant and a self-service user of another tenant
You must be an administrator to edit, create and delete users.
Tip: During user creation a password may be supplied. To have the user set their own password, leave the password field blank. Once the user is created, an email is sent informing the user to set their password.
