Clear Security Settings

Overview

Cloud Manager enables you to configure the security settings that your deployments use through the Cloud Manager user interface. If you wish to reset the security settings for your deployment, you may do so using the Clear Settings button. Clear Settings clears all authentication-related settings so you can start over from a blank configuration.

Clear Settings removes all authentication-related settings, including the authentication mechanisms for the deployment, automation users and roles, and defined users for the Monitoring and Backups.

You cannot reset the security settings for a deployment if your deployment includes any managed processes.

Procedure

You may only reset the authentication settings if there are no managed processes associated with your deployment. As such, if you wish to reset the security settings, you must unmanage all processes, and then use the Clear Settings button to reset the security settings.

1

Navigate to the Clusters view for your deployment.

1. If it is not already displayed, select the organization that contains your desired project from the office icon Organizations menu in the navigation bar.
2. If it is not already displayed, select your desired project from the Projects menu in the navigation bar.
3. If it is not already displayed, click Deployment in the sidebar.
4. Click the Clusters view.

2

Select Remove from Cloud Manager.

Select whether to also stop monitoring the process.
