OpenStack dashboard
|
||
===================
|
||
|
||
As a cloud end user, you can use the OpenStack dashboard to provision
|
||
your own resources within the limits set by administrators. You can
|
||
modify the examples provided in this section to create other types and
|
||
sizes of server instances.
|
||
|
||
Log in to the dashboard
|
||
-----------------------
|
||
|
||
The dashboard is available on the node with the ``nova-dashboard``
|
||
server role.
|
||
|
||
#. Ask the cloud operator for the host name or public IP address from
|
||
which you can access the dashboard, and for your user name and
|
||
password.
|
||
|
||
#. Open a web browser that has JavaScript and cookies enabled.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
|
||
To use the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) client for the dashboard,
|
||
your browser must support HTML5 Canvas and HTML5 WebSockets. The VNC
|
||
client is based on noVNC. For details, see `noVNC: HTML5 VNC
|
||
Client <https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/blob/master/README.md>`__.
|
||
For a list of supported browsers, see `Browser
|
||
support <https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/wiki/Browser-support>`__.
|
||
|
||
#. In the address bar, enter the host name or IP address for the
|
||
dashboard.
|
||
|
||
.. code::
|
||
|
||
https://ipAddressOrHostName/
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
|
||
If a certificate warning appears when you try to access the URL for
|
||
the first time, a self-signed certificate is in use, which is not
|
||
considered trustworthy by default. Verify the certificate or add an
|
||
exception in the browser to bypass the warning.
|
||
|
||
#. On the Log In page, enter your user name and password, and click Sign
|
||
In.
|
||
|
||
The top of the window displays your user name. You can also access
|
||
Settings or sign out of the dashboard.
|
||
|
||
The visible tabs and functions in the dashboard depend on the access
|
||
permissions, or roles, of the user you are logged in as.
|
||
|
||
* If you are logged in as an end user, the :guilabel:`Project` tab is displayed.
|
||
|
||
* If you are logged in as an administrator, the :guilabel:`Project` tab
|
||
(:ref:`dashboard-project-tab`) and :guilabel:`Admin` tab
|
||
(:ref:`dashboard-admin-tab`) are displayed.

OpenStack dashboard—Project tab
|
||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
||
Projects are organizational units in the cloud, and are also known as
|
||
tenants or accounts. Each user is a member of one or more projects.
|
||
Within a project, a user creates and manages instances.
|
||
|
||
From the Project tab, you can view and manage the resources in a
|
||
selected project, including instances and images. You select the project
|
||
from the CURRENT PROJECT list at the top of the tab.
