5.3. Clusters and Permissions
5.3.1. Managing System Permissions for a Cluster
As the SuperUser, the system administrator manages all aspects of the Administration Portal. More specific administrative roles can be assigned to other users. These restricted administrator roles are useful for granting a user administrative privileges that limit them to a specific resource. For example, a DataCenterAdmin role has administrator privileges only for the assigned data center with the exception of the storage for that data center, and a ClusterAdmin has administrator privileges only for the assigned cluster.
A cluster administrator is a system administration role for a specific data center only. This is useful in data centers with multiple clusters, where each cluster requires a system administrator. The ClusterAdmin role is a hierarchical model: a user assigned the cluster administrator role for a cluster can manage all objects in the cluster. Use the button in the header bar to assign a cluster administrator for all clusters in the environment.
The cluster administrator role permits the following actions:
- Create and remove associated clusters.
- Add and remove hosts, virtual machines, and pools associated with the cluster.
- Edit user permissions for virtual machines associated with the cluster.
Note
You can only assign roles and permissions to existing users.
You can also change the system administrator of a cluster by removing the existing system administrator and adding the new system administrator.
5.3.2. Cluster Administrator Roles Explained
Cluster Permission Roles
The table below describes the administrator roles and privileges applicable to cluster administration.
| Role | Privileges | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ClusterAdmin | Cluster Administrator |
Can use, create, delete, manage all physical and virtual resources in a specific cluster, including hosts, templates and virtual machines. Can configure network properties within the cluster such as designating display networks, or marking a network as required or non-required.
However, a ClusterAdmin does not have permissions to attach or detach networks from a cluster, to do so NetworkAdmin permissions are required.
|
| NetworkAdmin | Network Administrator | Can configure and manage the network of a particular cluster. A network administrator of a cluster inherits network permissions for virtual machines within the cluster as well. |
