Signing in to R‑Cloud

After successfully subscribing to R‑Cloud, you can sign in to the R‑Cloud web user interface.

Prerequisites

• You must use a supported web browser. For a list of supported web browsers, see the HYCU R‑Cloud Compatibility Matrix.

• Only if you want to protect a Google Cloud project:

  • In Google Cloud, the Compute Engine default service account must be present on the project that you plan to protect and it must have the Editor role granted. If this service account is not available, you must set up an alternative service account and grant it the Editor role. The name of the service account must be in the following format:
    hycu-<projectNumber>@<projectId>.iam.gserviceaccount.com.

  • In Google Compute Engine, your Google Account must have the following roles granted on the projects with instances, applications, and buckets that you plan to protect:

    • Compute Admin (roles/compute.admin)

    • Service Account User (roles/iam.serviceAccountUser)

  • In the Google Cloud Storage service, your Google Account must have the Storage Admin (roles/storage.admin) role granted on the projects whose targets you plan to use for storing data.

  • The Cloud Pub/Sub API must be enabled on the Google Cloud projects with instances, applications, and buckets that you plan to protect.

  For details, see Google Cloud documentation.

Procedure

1. Depending on whether you are signing in for the first time or not, access the R‑Cloud sign-in webpage in one of the following ways:

   • If you are accessing the sign-in page for the first time after subscribing:

     After you subscribe to R‑Cloud and R‑Cloud is deployed, you are redirected to the sign-in webpage. If you are not redirected, open a web browser and go to the R‑Cloud sign-in webpage by using the link in the email that received when you subscribed to R‑Cloud. In both cases, the account ID is already part of the URL and you do not need to enter it.

   • If you are not accessing the sign-in page for the first time:

     Open the R‑Cloud web page, enter the HYCU account ID you received when you subscribed to R‑Cloud, and then click Next.

   Once you successfully sign in, your account ID is stored by the browser and you no longer need to enter it when you sign-in.
   

    Tip  You can set a sign-in alias for your HYCU account. For details, see Viewing subscription information.

2. Depending on how you want to sign-in to R‑Cloud, do one of the following:

   • By using dedicated sign-in credentials for HYCU. Enter your sign-in name and password.

      Important  You must change the generated temporary password during the first sign-in.

   • By using an identity provider. Click the preferred identity provider, and then, if required, enter your credentials.

     For details on how to integrate R‑Cloud with identity providers, see Managing identity providers.

After you sign in to the R‑Cloud web user interface, the Dashboard panel appears, and you can start establishing your data protection environment and protecting data.

To sign out manually, click  <EmailAddress> to open the Session menu, and then click Sign Out.
