Account Administrator Actions

You can use LDAP authentication to store and administer Barracuda Cloud Control user accounts via your organization's LDAP servers. Also see Understanding User Roles and Permissions.

To create a new Barracuda Cloud Control user, the administrator must first add the user to your Barracuda Networks account, and set permissions for that user within the account. For that user, these permissions apply to all Barracuda Networks products and services connected to your Barracuda Networks account. You then create permissions for the user within Barracuda Cloud Control, defining whether the user can view and run reports, manage other Barracuda Cloud Control users, connect products through Barracuda Appliance Control, etc.

Add Users

1. In the Product Entitlements list, turn on the subscribed to Barracuda Networks products and services that this user can access when they log into the account.
