How to create a new user (other than admin) in RHV-M GUI to access api?
Hi,
I have deployed RHV 4.1 in my lab. Now, I want to create a user (other than existing admin user) to access RHV-M GUI as well as api. Please explain me how to do this.
Thanks.

Go to the admin portal of your RHV instance (https://RHVM_FQDN/ovirt-engine/webadmin/), select tab "Users" and click the "Add" link.

I think it not correct...
In this case... this will help.
[USERS AND ROLES] (https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/html/administration_guide/chap-users_and_roles)
use ''ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool'' command
[root@rhv4-m ~]# ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool user add user1 --attribute=firstName=user1
adding user user1...
user added successfully
Note: by default created user cannot log in. see:
/usr/bin/ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool user password-reset --help.
and password reset
[root@rhv4-m ~]# ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool user password-reset user1 --password=pass:redhat
updating user user1...
user updated successfully
now you can login RHV-M GUI interface.
Hello Siem
I believe KangWoo Lee is correct. As far as I know it's a 2 step procedure. At least this is how I did it. We needed an internal user for virt-who.
ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool user add virt-who --attribute=description='Virt-who user for Satellite' --attribute=firstName=virt-who
Set password and 'valid to' (just an example)
ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool user password-reset virt-who --password-valid-to="2016-01-22 23:30:53Z"
Check the newly added account
ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool user show virt-who
After this procedure I added the user via the WEB UI and gave role accordingly to function. In this case ReadOnlyAdmin.
