Managing Users

There are three levels of users:

• Cloud admins - with full access to the AppScale deployment
• Application owners - with access to admin portions of applications
• Regular users - with basic access to applications

Regular users can be created in the appscale Dashboard. The cloud admin is the user which starts up the AppScale deployment. Application owners are those who deployed the application, whether it is from command line or via the Dashboard.

Google/Third Party Auth

The default AppScale authentication is designed for being on-premise and therefore does not give you access to Google's accounts. You can do this at the application level, or inquire for plugins (Google, LDAP, Shibboleth, etc) provided by AppScale Systems.

Scripts

In ~/appscale/scripts you'll find the following scripts to grant application admin access, grant cloud admin access, add users, view users, and remove users.

• delete_user.py
• grant_admin_for_app.py
• view_users.py
• create_user.py
• describe_user.py
• grant_cloud_admin.py
