As a CloudCreator user, you'll be issued with a two-factor authentication code. This reduces the risk of unauthorised access to your account and provides the highest security for your corporate resources.
Two factor authentication includes:
- Your username and password, then
- A unique token issued at the time you log in.
There are two methods you can receive a token, either by:
- SMS (text message) token - the default option, or
- Soft (phone application) token - the recommended option for users in areas where there is no mobile coverage.
Logging In
All the information required to log in (password and token information) will be emailed to you.
Once you have logged in, see Basic Navigation to find your way around CloudCreator.
If you don't already have a CloudCreator role assigned, you'll see an Access Permission Request when you log in (shown below). Complete the fields and click Submit. Your Global Admin will assign the appropriate role, and ask you to log in again.
Set Up and Log In with BYO Identity
Bring Your Own Identity (BYOI) will be available for non-government clients from 24 November 2021. It will be available for government clients in early 2022.
BYOI is an improved way to log in to CloudCreator. Instead of using your CloudCreator username, password and one-time password, you can opt to use your existing corporate user credentials. It can also be used to supplement existing CloudCreator User Accounts. Find out more about BYO Identity here.
