How to do it…

Carry out the following steps to create and modify users and projects in OpenStack:

Creating a new project

Creating a new user in a project is achieved with the following command. For example, to create the project called development, execute the following command:

openstack project create development

Creating a user

To create a user called developer, with a password of password123, carry out the following command:

openstack user create
 --domain default
 --password password123
 --enable
 developer

Adding a user to a project

To add a user with the _member_ role (regular user) to the development project, carry out the following command:
