Horizon Web Console: Identity

You can manage your identity and application credentials under the Identity tab in the Horizon web console.

Projects

The Projects tab under Identity lists all Red Cloud projects, with their UUIDs(Project ID), to which your user belong. Additionally, you can switch the active project by clicking on the Set as Active Project button.

The project without the Set as Active Project button is the current active project.

The Users tab shows the UUID of your user account.

Application Credentials

Application credentials are used by the Openstack CLI client and Openstack SDK to authenticate to Red Cloud.

List Existing Application Credentials

The Application Credentials tab under Identity lists all of your existing application credentials. Application credentials are linked to a project and a user. You cannot see application credentials created by other users in your project.

If you are in more than one project, the Project ID column shows the UUID of the project to which the application credential is linked.
