Step 1: Verify your user roles and password

Select the General information tab and Reset the password of avnadmin user, which comes with the Admin role, in the Login information section.

Step 2: Authorise incoming connections to your Dashboards instance

In this step, select the Authorised IPs tab. IP addresses must be authorised here before they can connect to your serbice.

Clicking on Add an IP address or IP address block (CIDR) opens a new window in which you can add single IP addresses or blocks to allow access to the service.

You can edit and retract database access via the ... button in the IP table.

Connect to your Dashboards Instance

Log in to your OVHcloud Control Panel and open your Public Cloud project. Click on Data Analysis in the left-hand navigation bar and select your Dashboards instance, to collect the URI in the Login informations section of the General information tab.
