Self-service portal

The self-service portal for clients of cloud solutions is implemented through the functionality of VMmanager and BILLmanager products ecosystem. In each of the products the user has a client area. For more details about client area in VMmanager, refer to Account setup, in BILLmanager — to Client area.

Role-based access is implemented in BILLmanager, and clients can order various services in their client area:

• virtual machines (VMs);
• containers;
• virtual networks;
• IP addresses;
• backup space;
• available guest OS images;
• software to be installed.

VMmanager provides role-based access to the virtual infrastructure delegated to the user and offers a graphical interface for administration.
