Add a UNIX user

When a dcm-agent is connected to the Dell Cloud Manager it provides many additional features. One feature is the ability to add system users to the running server. Once added new users can ssh into the running virtual machine.

To add a new user

Find your server in the list of deployed servers and click on its row. This will cause a new set of buttons to be displayed like the ones shown below.
