1 - Introduction
The Elastx Cloud Console (ECC) or just “Cloud Console” is our new web interface to manage your services on the Elastx Cloud Platform (ECP).
The address is https://console.elastx.cloud - to login and access your organization you need a user account in the IdP, contact our support.
Right now features are limited, a selection of what is currently available:
- Invite and manage users for your organization
- Create and manage access to DBaaS projects
- Create and manage access to Openstack projects
2 - Access and permissions
The Cloud Console features a rudimentary permissions system based on hardcoded groups, usually a “Admins” and a “Members” group where the “Admins” group can be considered “RW” (read and write) and the “Members” group can be considered read only.
Generally these groups and their permissions are limited to activity in the Cloud Console and do not extend to underlying systems like DBaaS and OpenStack.
It is usually possible to manage permissions with the native model for the product in question, ie. OpenStack project roles
Organization
Organization admins can manage permissions through the “Organization” page in the sidebar. Minimum permissions in an organization is represented by the “Members” group. They can view everything for the organization in Cloud Console.
Admins can edit everything owned by the organization in the Cloud Console and make other users Admins in the organization.
DBaaS
For each DBaaS project, there is a “Admins” and a “Members” group. Their privileges in DBaaS are the same, ie. complete.
In the Cloud Console organization Admins can:
- Create projects
- Add/remove users for each project
OpenStack
For OpenStack projects, organization Admins can:
- Create projects
- Add/remove users for each project
- Manage users’ Openstack project roles for each project

To get access to your organization in Cloud Console you need to be added by an admin in the organization or by our support.
The Cloud Console is located at https://console.elastx.cloud
Reviewing existing resources
If you have been an Elastx customer since before the Cloud Console was introduced, begin by reviewing DBaaS and Openstack projects in the Cloud Console, ie. make sure your current projects are listed.
If something is missing or incorrect, please contact our support.
Adding users
If you are a member of the “Admins” group for your organization, you can add/invite other users.
To view members of the “Admins” and “Members” group, click “Organization” in the sidebar.
To add new members to your organization, click “Users” in the sidebar and the “Add user” button on the new page.
New users will automatically be added to your organization’s “Members” group. To make a user admin:
- Click “Organization” in the sidebar
- Below the “Admins” header, click the “Add member” button
- Select the user(s), click the “Save” button
Setting up projects
Create the DBaaS/Openstack projects you need.
For DBaaS, the difference between “Admins” and “Members” for a project is just that “Admins” for a project can add/remove other users’ access in the Cloud Console. They both have full permissions in CCX to manage datastores.
Openstack project names needs to be globally unique, ie. not already in use by another customer. If you try to create a project with an existing name you will get an error that says the project already exists.
For Openstack you can manage access with the native Openstack project roles. When viewing a Openstack project in Cloud Console, use the edit button next to a members name to edit their roles. Or press the “Add member” button to add a new member from the organization to the project.
