Setting Up SSH Access

This page explains how to grant a user SSH access to instances based on a particular server profile. You can grant this access even if the user does not have any other access to objects in Nimbul (such as cluster administrator access).

Note: Before you can grant SSH access, the user must have a public key specified in his or her Nimbul user account. See Setting Up an Account.

  1. View the appropriate server by clicking the server name anywhere you find it in the system (e.g. on a dashboard or on the Servers tab for the cluster).
  2. Click the Security tab.
  3. In the SSH Access area, click add user.
  4. Select the user’s name from the list, and specify the server user: root, dev or logpoll.
  5. Click Update. An SshKeys::Add operation for this user will be created, for each of the instances running under this server. Click the Operations tab to see the status of the SShKeys::Add operation. When the operation is in the succeeded state, the user will be able to access the instance using his or her private key that corresponds to the public key entered in the Nimbul account.

To revoke a user’s SSH access, click the remove link in the last column of the table.
