Local Users

Before you start

Goal

• Create local users in the Altair SLC Hub

Prerequisites

• An installed Altair SLC Hub

Add a Local User

Local users are stored internally in the Altair SLC Hub database, and exist only in the Altair SLC Hub. Local users may be added via the "Hub Administration" pages on the portal, or via the APIs.

Setting up OS information

Users added manually will not have OS settings about which username/UPN to run workloads as. This information must be added manually.

The operating system user that workloads will run as must be created outside the Altair SLC Hub. The Altair SLC Hub does not create operating system users.

Turning Off Setting the OS Users for Local Users

It is possible to turn off the ability to manually set the OS user which a Altair SLC Hub user's workloads will run as. This may be achieved by adding a config file based on [etc directory]/config.d/auth_user.yaml

This will mean only users synced via LDAP with OS user information will be able to run workloads.

Verify

• Run a workload as the Altair SLC Hub user.
