Note

Role troubleshooting and tips

Roles

  • The default CLOUD_ADMIN role has all privileges and is locked

  • You can only access roles with the same privileges or fewer privileges than your own role

  • You cannot modify your own role.

Privileges

  • You can only select or deselect privileges that are in your own role

  • Privileges are generally independent.
    For example, for a user with a role without the "Access Infrastructure view" privilege, the Infrastructure icon does not display in the UI. However, if this user's role has the privileges to "Manage datacenters" and "View datacenter details", the user will be able to access these functions through the API
