Chapter 6. Administering the Ansible Lightspeed Service

As an organization administrator, you can use Red Hat Ansible Lightspeed to manage the Ansible Lightspeed service, so that your users and teams can create and use custom automation content. This chapter provides information about how to get set up as an organization administrator on Red Hat Ansible Lightspeed, with details on how to:

  • Access the Ansible Lightspeed portal as an organization administrator
  • View and manage the Admin dashboard telemetry data
Note

If you are using a free 90-day trial account, you need a trial or paid subscription to the Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, but you do not need a trial or paid subscription to IBM watsonx Code Assistant. This means that you do not need to configure the API key or model ID when setting up or using a trial account.

Use the Ansible Lightspeed administrator portal to connect Red Hat Ansible Lightspeed to IBM watsonx Code Assistant.
