Creating an organization administrator
Use Lumen® Private Cloud on VMware Cloud FoundationTM to create a new user as an organization administrator or change an existing user into an organization administrator. You need organization administrators to use your Lumen® Edge Private Cloud service to its full potential including creating API authentication tokens to run API calls for your clouds and changing user passwords. Organization administrators use the VMware Cloud Director Web Console, tenant portal, and vCloud OpenAPI to manage users and groups in their organization and assign them roles, including the organization administrator role.
