Create an interactive credential

Follow these steps to create an interactive credential.

The following video demonstrates how to create an interactive credential on Azure:

Prerequisites

Your account must have the Owner role in order for the interactive credential creation to work. If your account does not have the Owner role, you must use the app-based credential option instead of the interactive option.

Steps

1. In the Cloudbreak web UI, select Credentials from the navigation pane.
2. Click Create Credential.
3. Under Cloud provider, select “Microsoft Azure”.
4. Select Interactive Login.
5. Provide the following information:

   Parameter	Description
   Name	Enter a name for your credential.
   Description	(Optional) Enter a description.
   Subscription Id	Copy and paste the Subscription ID from your Subscriptions.
   Tenant Id	Copy and paste your Directory ID from your Active Directory > Properties.
   Azure role type	You have the following options: “Use existing Contributor role” (default): If you select this option, Cloudbreak will use the Contributor role to create resources. This requires no further input. “Reuse existing custom role”: If you select this option and enter the name of an existing role, Cloudbreak will use this role to create resources. “Let Cloudbreak create a custom role”: If you select this option and enter a name for the new role, the role will be created. When choosing role name, make sure that there is no existing role with the name chosen. For information on creating custom roles, refer to Azure documentation. If using a custom role, use the following role definition, which includes the minimum necessary action set for Cloudbreak to be able to manage clusters.
