Creating Accounts

In order to create Fuzzball accounts, your user will need organization owner permissions. Accounts can be created using either the web UI or the CLI. Follow the instructions corresponding to your preferred method below.

Account names must be unique within your organization and should be descriptive to help team members understand the account’s purpose.
Please select either the web UI or CLI tab to see the appropriate instructions for your environment.

Prerequisites

Before creating accounts via the web UI, ensure you have:

  • Organization owner permissions

Creating an Account

  1. Log into your Fuzzball UI as an organization owner

  2. Click on the Gear icon in the top right of the dashboard header and select Manage organization

    Manage organization menu

  3. Navigate to the Accounts section in the left toolbar

    Accounts section

  4. Click the Add Account button

  5. In the account creation dialog:

    • Enter a name for the new account (e.g., “test-account1”)
    • Click + Add

  6. The new account will appear in your accounts list and you will be set as the account owner

After creating the account, you can begin adding users and configuring account-specific resources.

Prerequisites

  • Organization owner permissions
  • Fuzzball CLI with a context configured for the admin user

Creating an Account

To create a new account, use the Fuzzball account CLI subcommand create with the desired account name as an argument. In this example, we’ll create an account named test-account1:

$ fuzzball account create test-account1
Account: test-account1 created with id: 324fe14b-1008-4c2d-8e07-e7136c7db38f

When an account is successfully created, a UUID is returned as shown above. This ID uniquely identifies the account and can be used in other CLI operations.

Verifying Account Creation

To confirm the account was created successfully, you can list all accounts:

$ fuzzball account list
SELECTED | NAME                         | ID                                   | CREATED TIME          | LAST UPDATED
         | User Account (admin@ciq.com) | 06559942-1f88-4c99-93c5-2dfb1537d355 | 2024-06-19 12:51:29PM | 2024-06-19 12:51:29PM
    *    | default                      | 2ec072f6-7ab2-42fc-acce-5fc0912ce3b0 | 2024-07-03 09:38:14PM | 2024-07-03 09:38:14PM
         | test-account1                | 324fe14b-1008-4c2d-8e07-e7136c7db38f | 2024-07-09 10:18:18PM | 2024-07-09 10:18:18PM

The new test-account1 account appears in the list, confirming it was created successfully. You are automatically set as the account owner when creating an account via the CLI.
