Currently it is not possible to have one user credential for all accounts. A Dedicated account requires one set of user credentials, and Cloud accounts require a different set of user credentials. We do provide an Account Linking feature that allows a Dedicated account to link Cloud Accounts, and you can manage the Dedicated users that are allowed to click and access a Cloud Account to perform either Administrative, Editing, or Viewing functions. Refer the following article to configure this feature. Rackspace Cloud and Rackspace Dedicated.

All resources for an account are shared across users that have the correct roles. In other words, account users do not have their own set of resources but share a pool of resources that other users of the account might have access to.

Following is the initial pop-up window that appears when you enable RBAC. For information about additional products that will be RBAC-enabled in the future, refer to Rackspace Cloud and Rackspace Dedicated. For information about changing your admin credentials, refer to Use Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). For access to the Cloud Control Panel, log in at https://login.rackspace.com/.
