Are Multiple Virtual Clouds in Use?
The way you select a virtual cloud in CloudCreator depends on whether your company is using single or multiple virtual clouds, and your role.
Use the table below to determine whether your company has single or multiple clouds in use.
| Clouds in Use | Example |
| Single Cloud |
Your CloudCreator screen shows only your company's name:
|
| Multiple Clouds |
If your company is using multiple virtual clouds, and your CloudCreator role only allows you to access one virtual cloud, you will only see the virtual cloud name:
|
|
If your CloudCreator role allows you to access multiple virtual clouds, you will see both the company name and the currently selected child name. Select the drop-down menu to change the selected virtual cloud.

Follow these steps to select a virtual cloud:
1. When you log into CloudCreator, the name of your default virtual cloud appears at the top of your CloudCreator screen. Click on your cloud name or All Clouds to view the cloud selector dropdown menu.
Note: Depending on your CloudCreator set-up and role, the cloud selector dropdown panel may be hidden. See Are Multiple Virtual Clouds in Use? above.
