Provisioning a partner tenant

For this tutorial, you must have a partner tenant with:

  • Cyber Protect service enabled.

  • An API client created by the tenant administrator.

We will do the following:

  1. Create a new partner tenant, using the POST /tenants endpoint.

    Note

    The partner tenant will be created in the production billing mode, Self-service management mode and Enhanced security enabled.

  2. Enable all offering items for the new partner tenant, using the GET /tenants/{partner_id}/offering_items/available_for_child and PUT /tenants/{new_partner_id}/offering_items endpoints.

    Note

    This will automatically enable all the services that are available for your tenant.

  3. Enable two-factor authentication for the new partner tenant, using the PUT /tenants/{new_partner_id}/mfa/status endpoint.

  4. Create a user account in the new partner tenant, using the GET /users/check_login and POST /users endpoint.

  5. Assign the Company administrator role to the new user account, using the PUT /users/{user_id}/access_policies endpoint.

    Note

    This will allow the user to manage its partner tenant.

  6. Send an activation e-mail to the new user, using the POST /users/{user_id}/send-activation-email endpoint.

To provision a partner tenant

Authenticate and set up partner tenant variable

  1. Authenticate to the cloud platform via the Python shell.

    The following variables should be available now:

    >>> base_url  # the base URL of the API
    '<the data center URL>/api/2'
    >>> auth  # the 'Authorization' header value with the access token
    {'Authorization': 'Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6ImMwMD...'}
    >>> tenant_id  # the UUID of the tenant to which the token provides access
    'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae'
    
  2. Define a variable named partner_id, and then assign the universally unique identifier (UUID) of your partner tenant to this variable:

    >>> partner_id = tenant_id
    >>> partner_id
    'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae'
    

Create a partner tenant

  1. Define a variable named partner, and then assign an object containing the minimum information about the partner tenant to this variable:

    >>> partner = {
    ...     'name': 'Partner, Inc',
    ...     'kind': 'partner',
    ...     'parent_id': partner_id,
    ...     'customer_id': 'partner-service-provider',
    ...     'ancestral_access': False,
    ...     'enhanced_security': True
    ... }
    

    Name

    Value type

    Required

    Description

    name

    string

    Yes

    A tenant name. The name must be unique in your tenant hierarchy.

    kind

    string

    Yes

    A tenant type.

    parent_id

    UUID string

    Yes

    The UUID of a tenant where this tenant will be created.

    customer_id

    string

    No

    An arbitrary ID of the customer that can be used for reporting purposes.

    ancestral_access

    boolean

    No (true by default)

    If true, sets the Managed by service provider mode that allows access for parent tenant administrators. Otherwise, sets the Self-service management mode that restricts access to this tenant for parent tenant administrators.

    enhanced_security

    boolean

    No (false by default)

    If true, enables backups encryption. Cannot be turned off once enabled.

  2. Convert the partner object to a JSON text:

    >>> partner = json.dumps(partner, indent=4)
    >>> print(partner)
    {
        "name": "Partner, Inc",
        "kind": "partner",
        "parent_id": "ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae",
        "customer_id": "partner-service-provider",
        "ancestral_access": false,
        "enhanced_security": true
    }
    
  3. Send a POST request with the JSON text to the /tenants endpoint:

    >>> response = requests.post(
    ...     f'{base_url}/tenants',
    ...     headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', **auth},
    ...     data=partner,
    ... )
    
  4. Check the status code of the response:

    >>> response.status_code
    201
    

    Status code 201 means that the platform has created the partner tenant in the production mode.

    Note

    A different status code means that an error has occurred. For details of the error, see HTTP status response codes and API error codes.

    Also, the response body contains the tenant information, formatted as a JSON text. When converted to an object, it will look like this:

    >>> pprint.pprint(response.json())
    {'ancestral_access': True,
     'brand_id': 3579,
     'brand_uuid": "14dc11ca-2b16-43bb-8ba4-2a3545c214a0',
     'contact': {...},
     'customer_id': 'partner-service-provider',
     'customer_type': 'default',
     'default_idp_id': '11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111',
     'enabled': True,
     'has_children': False,
     'id': '95303d96-628c-4265-9afa-07bee3fccf39',
     'internal_tag': None,
     'kind': 'partner',
     'language': 'en',
     'name': 'Partner, Inc',
     'owner_id': None,
     'parent_id': 'ede9f834-70b3-476c-83d9-736f9f8c7dae',
     'update_lock': {'enabled': False, 'owner_id': None},
     'version': 1}
    
  5. Define a variable named new_partner_id, and then assign the UUID of the created tenant to this variable:

    >>> new_partner_id = response.json()['id']
    >>> new_partner_id
    '95303d96-628c-4265-9afa-07bee3fccf39'
    

Note

For more information about how the API represents tenants and what operations are available with them, see Managing tenants.

Enable two-factor authentication

Important

  • When enabling two-factor authentication, all users accounts in the configured tenant will be required to set up two-factor authentication. They will be unable to log in until they set it up.

  • For Unit tenants, two-factor authentication setting is inherited from the parent tenant.

  1. Define a variable named mfa_status, and then assign an object with the enabled key containing desired status of two-factor authentication to this variable:

    >>> mfa_status = {
    ...     'enabled': True
    ... }
    
  2. Convert the mfa_status object to a JSON text:

    >>> mfa_status = json.dumps(mfa_status, indent=4)
    >>> print(mfa_status)
    {
        "enabled": true
    }
    
  3. Send a PUT request with the JSON text to the /tenants/{new_partner_id}/mfa/status endpoint:

    >>> response = requests.put(
    ...     f'{base_url}/tenants/{new_partner_id}/mfa/status',
    ...     headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', **auth},
    ...     data=mfa_status,
    ... )
    
  4. Check the status code of the response:

    >>> response.status_code
    200
    

    Status code 200 means that the platform has changed the status of two-factor authentication for the tenant.

    Note

    A different status code means that an error has occurred. For details of the error, see HTTP status response codes and API error codes.

    Also, the response body contains the information about the status of the two-factor authentication, formatted as a JSON text. When converted to an object, it will look like this:

    >>> pprint.pprint(response.json())
    {
        "mfa_status": "enabled",
        "users_with_totp_enabled_count": 0,
        "users_count": 0,
        "update_allowed": true
    }
    

Enable offering items for the partner tenant

  1. Fetch the list of offering items available for partner tenants in your tenant by sending a GET request to the /tenants/{partner_id}/offering_items/available_for_child endpoint. The endpoint URL should contain a kind query parameter set to partner:

    >>> response = requests.get(
    ...     f'{base_url}/tenants/{partner_id}/offering_items/available_for_child',
    ...     headers=auth,
    ...     params={'kind': 'partner'},
    ... )
    
  2. Check the status code of the response:

    >>> response.status_code
    200
    

    Status code 200 means that the response body text contains an encoded JSON object consisting of the items member. The items member is an array of objects of offering items that can be enabled for partner tenants. If no items can be enabled, this array is empty.

    Note

    A different status code means that an error has occurred. For details of the error, see HTTP status response codes and API error codes.

  3. Convert the JSON text to an object, and then store the value of the object items key in a variable named offering_items:

    >>> offering_items = response.json()['items']
    >>> pprint.pprint(offering_items)
    [{'application_id': '6e6d758d-8e74-3ae3-ac84-50eb0dff12eb',
      'infra_id': '019097a6-114f-4418-bd54-e01ef049f209',
      'locked': False,
      'measurement_unit': 'bytes',
      'name': 'storage',
      'quota': {'overage': None, 'value': None, 'version': 0},
      'status': 1,
      'type': 'infra'},
     {'application_id': '6e6d758d-8e74-3ae3-ac84-50eb0dff12eb',
      'locked': False,
      'measurement_unit': 'quantity',
      'name': 'workstations',
      'quota': {'overage': None, 'value': None, 'version': 0},
      'status': 1,
      'type': 'count'}, ...]
    
  4. Define a variable named items, and then assign a dict containing the list of all available offering items to this variable:

    >>> items = {'offering_items': offering_items}
    
  5. Convert the items object to a JSON text:

    >>> items = json.dumps(items, indent=4)
    
  6. Send a PUT request with the JSON text to the /tenants/{new_partner_id}/offering_items endpoint:

    >>> response = requests.put(
    ...     f'{base_url}/tenants/{new_partner_id}/offering_items',
    ...     headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', **auth},
    ...     data=items,
    ... )
    
  7. Check the status code of the response:

    >>> response.status_code
    200
    

    Status code 200 means that the platform has enabled all available offering items for the new partner tenant.

    Note

    A different status code means that an error has occurred. For details of the error, see HTTP status response codes and API error codes.

Note

For more information about how the API represents services and what operations are available with them, see Managing services.
Information about offering items is available in Managing offering items and quotas.

Create a user account in the partner tenant

  1. Define a variable named user_login, and then assign the login for a new user account to this variable:

    >>> user_login = 'RichardDoe'
    
  2. Check if this login is available in the platform. To do this, send a GET request to the /users/check_login endpoint. The endpoint URL should contain a username query parameter set to the login:

    >>> response = requests.get(
    ...     f'{base_url}/users/check_login',
    ...     headers=auth,
    ...     params={'username': user_login},
    ... )
    
  3. Check the status code of the response:

    >>> response.status_code
    204
    

    Status code 204 means that the login is not taken by any other account registered in the platform.

    Note

    A different status code means that an error has occurred. For details of the error, see HTTP status response codes and API error codes.

  4. Define a variable named account, and then assign an object containing the minimum information about the user account to this variable:

    >>> account = {
    ...     'tenant_id': new_partner_id,
    ...     'login': user_login,
    ...     'contact': {
    ...         'email': 'richard.doe@example.com',
    ...         'firstname': 'Richard',
    ...         'lastname': 'Doe',
    ...     },
    ... }

    {
        "tenant_id": "95303d96-628c-4265-9afa-07bee3fccf39",
        "login": "RichardDoe",
        "contact": {
            "email": "richard.doe@example.com",
            "firstname": "Richard",
            "lastname": "Doe"
        }
    }
    
  6. Send a POST request with the JSON text to the /users endpoint:

    >>> response = requests.post(
    ...     f'{base_url}/users',
    ...     headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json', **auth},
    ...     data=account,
    ... )
    
  7. Check the status code of the response:

    >>> response.status_code
