Manually Managing and Activating Users#

AMD Resource Manager is optimized to support user management where users are federated via an identity provider (IDP) through SSO (single sign-on) or the user management workflow is orchestrated by the AMD Resource Manager user interface. For routine user management, use the AMD Resource Manager UI to invite users, which supports both email-based invitations (with SMTP) and temporary password-based invitations (without SMTP).

Resetting User Passwords in Keycloak#

If an administrator forgets a temporary password they set for a user, or if a user needs an emergency password reset, you can reset the password directly in Keycloak:

  1. Navigate to Users in the Keycloak realm.

  2. Search for and select the user whose password needs to be reset.

  3. Click on the Credentials tab.

  4. Click Reset Password or Set Password.

  5. Enter the new password.

    • Password requirements: Between 8 and 256 characters, no leading or trailing spaces

  6. Check the Temporary checkbox to ensure the user is required to change their password on first login.

  7. Click Save.

  8. Communicate the new temporary password to the user through a secure channel.

AMD Resource Manager UI#

Once the user has logged in, you can manage their access to projects and permissions via the user interface. As a platform administrator, you can find the new user in the Users tab. Select the user and adjust their role if needed. You can add them to the desired projects as described in the AMD Resource Manager user guide.

If the user’s roles or project access have changed, they need to log out and log back in to see the changes.
