User Management on Universal Control Plane (UCP)

This is a quick tutorial on Docker UCP usage for User Management. Docker UCP provides us multiuser management and Role-based user control. which allows us to create and manage users and teams in an organization. Let's take a look over this user management in detail in this post.

First, we create Organization then we associate a couple of teams then after that add users to those teams.

Login to your UCP management console.

Create an Organization on UCP

Click on the 'user management' in the left side pane.

Now in the right pane work area, you can click on the 'Create Organization' top right button.

Enter your organization name a single word without any spaces. even though you enter the name in Capitals it will convert into lower case and store it.

To complete it click on the 'Create' button.
Once Organization is created it will be listed in the work area. Click on the newly created organization it will give us the option to create the teams.

Create a Team on UCP

Let's prepare the list of commonly required teams for any organization. Then, create them so the list as  following teams:

• dev - Development team
• QA - Quality Assurance team
• prod - Production team

Create User

There will be 'admin' User already created by UCP. we can create new users with 'admin' roles or without it. We would like to create a user with 'admin' access and another without 'admin' access role.

Let's explore this user creation process now.

The same way we can create another user that having the 'Docker EE Admin' role.
After creating users the summary looks as:

Add Users to Team

Go to the organization that you have already created. select it. Choose the team to which you will add the user. Here I am adding user to 'qa' team.
