4.3.3. Log in to the User Portal
Now that you have assigned PowerUserRole permissions on a virtual machine to the user named admin, you can access the virtual machine from the user portal. To log in to the user portal, all you need is a Linux client running Mozilla Firefox.
If you are using a Red Hat Enterprise Linux client, install the SPICE plug-in before logging in to the User Portal. Run:
# yum install spice-xpi
To log in to the User Portal
- Open your browser and navigate to
https://domain.example.com/UserPortal. Substitutedomain.example.comwith the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager server address. - The login screen displays. Enter your User Name and Password, and click Login.
You have now logged into the user portal. As you have PowerUserRole permissions, you are taken by default to the Extended User Portal, where you can create and manage virtual machines in addition to using them. This portal is ideal if you are a system administrator who has to provision multiple virtual machines for yourself or other users in your environment. For more information, see the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Power User Portal Guide.
You can also toggle to the Basic User Portal, which is the default (and only) display for users with UserRole permissions. This portal allows users to access and use virtual machines, and is ideal for everyday users who do not need to make configuration changes to the system. For more information, see the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization User Portal Guide.
