BlueXP setup and administration

Associate a BlueXP Connector with other folders and projects

Contributors netapp-bcammett

A Connector is required to manage several types of working environments from BlueXP. When an Organization admin creates a Connector, BlueXP automatically associates that Connector with the organization and the currently selected project. The Organization admin automatically has access to that Connector from anywhere in the organization. Other members in your organization can only access that Connector from the project in which it was created, unless you associate that Connector with other projects from BlueXP identity and access management (IAM).

Before you begin

You should understand how Connector association works. Learn about using Connectors with BlueXP IAM.

About this task
  • When a Folder or project admin views the Connectors page, the page displays all Connectors in the organization. However, a member with this role can only view and associate Connectors with the folders and projects for which they have permissions. Learn more about the actions that a Folder or project admin can complete.

  • Due to a known issue, the Connectors page in BlueXP IAM displays any old Connectors that you previously removed from BlueXP.

Steps
  1. In the upper right of the BlueXP console, select The settings icon which displays in the top right of the BlueXP web console. > Identity & Access Management.

  2. Select Connectors.

  3. From the table, find the Connector that you want to associate.

    To find a specific Connector, you can use the search that's above the table and filter the contents of the table by selecting a specific part of the resource hierarchy.

  4. To first view the folders and projects that the Connector is associated with, select An icon that is three side-by-side dots and then select View details.

    BlueXP displays details about the folders and projects that the Connector is associated with.

  5. Select Associate to folder or project.

  6. Select a folder or project and then select Accept.

  7. To associate the Connector with an additional folder or project, select Add a folder or project and then select the folder or project.

  8. Select Associate Connector.

Result

BlueXP associates the Connector with the selected folders and projects. Members who have permissions for those folders and projects now have the ability to select that Connector.

After you finish

If you want to associate the resources that the Connector manages with the same folders and projects, you can do so from the Resources page.
