Set User Privileges for Data Center
Users need appropriate privileges to create and manage data center. The group privilege called Create Data Center must be enabled for a group so that the members of this group inherit it through group privilege settings and can create and manage Virtual Data Center (VDCs).
Prerequisite: Make sure you have one or more Groups in the User Manager. To create one, see Create a group.
To set user privileges to create and manage VDCs, follow these steps:
In the DCD, go to Menu > Management > Users & Groups under Users.
Select the Groups tab in the User Manager window.
Select the appropriate group to assign relevant privileges.
In the Privileges tab, select Create Data Center.
Note: You can remove the privileges from the group by clearing Create Data Center.
Result: The privilege to create and manage VDCs is granted to all the members in the selected group.
Revoke user privileges
You can revoke a user's Create Data Center privilege by removing the user from all the groups with this privilege enabled.
Warning: You can revoke a user from this privilege by disabling Create Data Center for every group the user belongs to. In this case, all the members in the respective groups would also be revoked from this privilege.
To revoke this privilege from a contract administrator, disable the administrator option on the user account. After performing this action, the contract administrator will become a contract user, and the privileges that were set up for the user before becoming an administrator will then be in effect.
