Managing Users in Your VMware Cloud Director Tenant Portal

By using the VMware Cloud Director Tenant Portal, you can create, edit, import, and delete users. In addition, you can also unlock user accounts in case a user tried to log in with an incorrect password and as a result has locked their own user account.

The page provides information about the users such as the assigned role, provider type, whether the user is stranded, and so on.

If VMware Cloud Director determines that a user who had previously logged in can no longer do so, the user becomes stranded. The user might not be able to log in because VMware Cloud Director can no longer authenticate the user. For example, the user might no longer be present in the LDAP server. Alternatively, even though VMware Cloud Director can reasonably authenticate external IDP users, those users might not be authorized for any role. For example, such users might inherit roles from a group that no longer exists.

Note: VMware Cloud Director users can share or transfer ownership of entities to other users within the same organization. For this reason, within an organization, any user can see the other users' basic information, such as user name, full name, description, ID, role, and organization.
