There are two distinct user types: Morpheus users and LDAP users. Each type of user serves a specific purpose and requires different methods for account creation.
Morpheus Users:
Morpheus users are required to log in to the Morpheus platform using their credentials to perform tasks such as provisioning VMs, managing networks, and monitoring resource usage.
To create a Morpheus user account:
- Log in to the Morpheus using your tenant administrator credentials.
- Navigate to the Administration → Users → Create User
- Fill in the required information for the new user, including first name, last name, username, email address, password and role.
- Assign appropriate permissions and roles to the user based on their responsibilities within the tenancy
- There are two roles: ewcloud-tenant-admin ( for admin privileges ) and ewcloud-user (for users without admin privileges )
Save the user details to create the Morpheus user account.
Please note Linux and Windows settings are not necessary to create a Morpheus user but can be created voluntary depending on your use cases.
LDAP Users:
To create a new user which syncs across all VMs in the tenancy, you need to create it inside the LDAP.

The user will be prompted to change their password upon first login after successful creation and the minimum lifetime of password is set to 1 hour.
Note: Created users cannot be automatically added to the sudoers group for security reasons. However, you can grant sudo privileges manually from cli or web browser interface
Create a new user by accessing the LDAP itself
