Creating and Editing AI users
To grant access to OVHcloud AI Solutions to the users of your Public Cloud Project, you can assign them either the AI Operator (ai_training_operator) or AI Reader (ai_training_read) role.
-
The AI Operator role provides complete access to AI Notebooks, AI Training, and AI Deploy solutions. With this role, users can launch, stop, and delete AI Solutions, as well as authenticate to existing AI Notebooks, Jobs, and Apps, and the ovhai CLI using their credentials.
-
If you don't need to launch, stop, or delete AI Solutions, but are only interested in accessing already existing deployed ones, the AI Reader role is sufficient. This role allows users to access existing AI Solutions, but not to launch, stop, or delete them.
In addition to the AI role, we strongly recommend adding the ObjectStore operator role to your AI users. This role provides read/write access to the OVHcloud Object Storage, which is a persistent storage solution to store your data that is incorporated into our AI Solutions. This way, you can access your data within the AI Solutions.
1. Create a new user
You can create the user from the users page of your project, or from the Configuration page of an AI product.
In the left-hand menu of your Public Cloud project, click Project Management, then open the Users tab.
Click Create a user, enter a User description, and tick the required roles to use the AI Solutions with the Object Storage (AI Operator or AI Reader, depending on the level of access you want to grant, and ObjectStore operator). Then click Create.
A password is generated. It lets you authenticate to your existing AI Notebooks, AI Training jobs, AI Deploy apps and to the ovhai CLI to launch new ones. It is displayed only once, so copy it before closing the dialog.
- If you ever lose the password of a user, you can generate a new one at any time from the
Userstab ofProject Management: click the...button next to your user, thenGenerate a password, and confirm withGenerate. - Access to AI Solutions can be revoked anytime by deleting the user or removing its AI Operator / AI Reader role.
2. Edit an existing user roles
To edit an existing user, go to the Users tab of Project Management, click the ... button next to the user, and select Edit roles to modify its existing roles.
