Identity

This section focuses on identity management for Infomaniak Public Cloud, covering secure authentication methods and access control for both interactive and automated use cases.

Authentication Methods

User Authentication: Interactive access using your Infomaniak account credentials via Horizon dashboard or OpenStack CLI.

Application Credentials: Dedicated credentials for automated systems, providing secure programmatic access without exposing user passwords.

Security Best Practice

Use Application Credentials for all automated access to improve security and auditability.

Access Control

Access is controlled through role-based permissions with two primary project-level roles:

  • reader - Read-only access for monitoring and reporting
  • member - Full project management for automation and operations

  •   Application Credentials

    Create and manage secure credentials for automated access to OpenStack services

  •   Service Policies

    Understand permissions and role-based access control for each OpenStack service
