Find out how to create an IAM vSphere role for Hosted Private Cloud - VMware on OVHcloud

Info

IAM is currently in beta phase. This guide can be updated in the future with the advances of our teams in charge of this product.

Objective

In this guide, we will explain how to create an IAM role in Hosted Private Cloud - VMware on OVHcloud.

Requirements

  • An OVHcloud account.
  • One or more Hosted Private Cloud - VMware on OVHcloud products linked to this account (Hosted Private Cloud powered by VMware, VMware Service Pack).
  • IAM enabled for your Hosted Private Cloud service - VMware on OVHcloud. Follow the steps in the guide IAM for VMware on OVHcloud - How to enable IAM.

OVHcloud Control Panel Access

  • Direct link:
  • Navigation path: Hosted Private Cloud > Managed VMware vSphere > Select your vSphere service

Instructions

By default, you have 2 vSphere IAM roles. The creation of an additional role is therefore optional.

We will explain how to create an additional role.

Creating an IAM role via the OVHcloud Control Panel

Select your infrastructure, then go to the Users tab.

Click Create IAM Role.

IAM role add

In the window that pops up, enter the name of your role, then click Confirm.

Info

IAM roles are automatically prefixed with iam-.

IAM role add

You can then edit the group rights in the same way as with a vSphere local user.

Creating an IAM role via the OVHcloud API
