===================
OpenStack dashboard
===================
As a cloud end user, you can use the OpenStack dashboard to provision
your own resources within the limits set by administrators. You can
modify the examples provided in this section to create other types and
sizes of server instances.
Log in to the dashboard
-----------------------
The dashboard is available on the node with the ``nova-dashboard``
server role.
#. Ask the cloud operator for the host name or public IP address from
which you can access the dashboard, and for your user name and
password.
#. Open a web browser that has JavaScript and cookies enabled.
.. note::
To use the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) client for the dashboard,
your browser must support HTML5 Canvas and HTML5 WebSockets. The VNC
client is based on noVNC. For details, see `noVNC: HTML5 VNC
Client <https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/blob/master/README.md>`__.
For a list of supported browsers, see `Browser
support <https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/wiki/Browser-support>`__.
#. In the address bar, enter the host name or IP address for the
dashboard.
.. code::
https://ipAddressOrHostName/
.. note::
If a certificate warning appears when you try to access the URL for
the first time, a self-signed certificate is in use, which is not
considered trustworthy by default. Verify the certificate or add an
exception in the browser to bypass the warning.
#. On the Log In page, enter your user name and password, and click
:guilabel:`Sign In`.
The top of the window displays your user name. You can also access
settings or sign out of the dashboard.
The visible tabs and functions in the dashboard depend on the access
permissions, or roles, of the user you are logged in as.
* If you are logged in as an end user, the :guilabel:`Project` tab is
displayed.
* If you are logged in as an administrator, the :guilabel:`Project` tab
(:ref:`dashboard-project-tab`) and :guilabel:`Admin` tab
(:ref:`dashboard-admin-tab`) are displayed.
.. _dashboard-project-tab:
OpenStack dashboard—:guilabel:`Project` tab
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Projects are organizational units in the cloud, and are also known as
tenants or accounts. Each user is a member of one or more projects.
Within a project, a user creates and manages instances.
From the :guilabel:`Project` tab, you can view and manage the resources in a
selected project, including instances and images. You select the project
from the CURRENT PROJECT list at the top of the tab.
