NetApp Console setup and administration

Get started with identity and access in NetApp Console

Contributors netapp-tonias

When you sign up for the NetApp Console, you're prompted to create a new organization. The organization includes one member (an Organization admin) and one default project. To set up identity and access management (IAM) to meet your business needs, you'll need to customize your organization's hierarchy, add additional members, add or discover resources, and associate those resources across your hierarchy.

You must have Organization admin permissions to administer identity and access for your entire organization. If you have Folder or project admin permissions, you can only administer the folders and projects for which you have permissions.

Follow these steps to set up a new organization. The order may vary based on your organization's needs.

One Edit the default project or add to your organization's hierarchy

Use the default project or create additional projects and folders matching your business hierarchy.

Two Associate members with your organization

Link user accounts to your organization and assign permissions. You also have the option to add service accounts to your organization.

Three Add or discover resources

Add or discover resources (systems) to the Console. Organization members manage systems from within a project.

Learn how to create or discover resources:

Four Associate resources with additional projects

Adding or discovering a system in the Console automatically associates the resource with the currently selected project. To make that resource available to another project in your organization, associate it with the respective project. If a Console agent is used to manage the resource, associate the Console agent with the respective project.
