# Configuring ATF Test Generator and Cloud Runner

Configure the ATF Test Generator and Cloud Runner store application by setting up the cloud user.

## Set up cloud user

Set the credentials for the cloud user to be able to generate and run tests. This is a one time setup after the admin user installs the application.

### Before you begin

Role required: admin

### Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Automated Test Framework \(ATF\)** > **Administration** > **Select Cloud User**.

    **Note:** The **Select Cloud User** module is visible only to the admins. Even an ATF test admin can't access the **Select Cloud User** module.

2.  Select an admin user from the list.

    **Note:** Even if you are an admin, it is recommended to select a dedicated admin user.

3.  Click **Submit**.

    If the admin user is selected successfully, the following message shows up:

    \[Omitted image "atf-app-credentials-success.png"\] Alt text: Image showing user selection success message

    If the selected user is not an admin, an error message shows up. The following message is an example of one of the possible error messages. The error messages vary depending on the reason of the error.

    \[Omitted image "atf-app-credentials-failed.png"\] Alt text: Image showing user selection failed message

    The selection of a cloud user can fail for the following reasons:

    -   User wasn't found
    -   User is inactive
    -   User is locked out
    -   User needs a password reset
    -   User doesn't have an admin role
    -   User has read-only access
    -   User has web services only access
    **Note:** Selecting an admin user might take some time because it tries spinning a cloud browser and then log in to the selected user.
