Abstract
An example method of logging in an automation user to a container image registry in a virtualized computing system is described, the container image registry managing container images for deploying containers in the virtualized computing system. The method includes: receiving, at a credential manager in the container image registry, a login request from a service executing in the virtualized computing system representing the automation user, the login request for image access to the container image registry and including an automation token; authenticating the automation token as credentials of a robot account in the container image registry corresponding to the automation user; and authorizing the automation user as identified in the automation token of the login request in response to the robot account having privilege for the image access.
