Create Users

The first user will be an administrator we create for you. An admin will be able to create more users and administrators in the CloudHealth Interface.

If you need further assistance, open a support request.

Single Sign-On

If you have enabled SSO in CloudHealth, you will not be able to add users with usernames and passwords. You must first add them to the proper role group within the IdPs directory.

See AWS Single Sign-On Service Integration Guide For CloudHealth for more information.

CloudHealth incurred costs

The role assumed by CloudHealth performs certain activities that incur costs. For example, the CloudHealth role may need to collect the Cost and Usage Reports from your account and add them to a S3 bucket.

The costs incurred by the CloudHealth role are usually small. Below is an example invoice issued to a fictitious customer who was not using AWS services otherwise.

You can run a Cloud Analytics report to understand the cost and usage:

• with the Cost metric:

  

• with the Usage metric:
