Users, roles, and quotas
Users, roles, and quotas

Goal

Create accounts and keep class capacity inside licence and host limits.

Roles (source)

RoleTypical use
adminUsers, licence, Assist LLM, management network, wipe/maintenance
editorBuild and operate labs; import images; MCP tools when licensed
userUse shared / owned labs within quotas

Recipe: add a user

  1. Administration -> Users (admins only)
  2. Enter username and initial password
  3. Choose role: admin, editor, or user
  4. Optional: set CPU quota and RAM quota (MB) (0 = unlimited)
  5. Create the user
  6. Ask them to change password on first login when prompted

Licence max users is enforced on create (Licence).

Recipe: edit quotas later

  1. Find the user in the Users table
  2. Edit quotas
  3. Set CPU and RAM MB (0 = unlimited)
  4. Confirm

Quotas apply to nodes the user owns when starting. Use them so one student cannot exhaust the classroom host.

Recipe: change role or disable

Use the role dropdown on the user row. Disable or delete unused accounts when seats are tight.

Expected result

  • Students can sign in to the web UI
  • Clear errors when licence seats or CPU/RAM quotas are exceeded
