Abiquo provides a set of default roles and you can clone and modify them to create new roles. See Default roles. See Privileges for a list of the privileges for each role.

A user can only have one role, but a role can be associated with multiple OpenID, AD, or LDAP groups. 

By default the new role will have "Copy:" added to its name, for example, "Copy: CLOUD_ADMIN".

To create or modify a role:

1. Go to Users → Roles

   • To clone a role, click the duplicate clone button. Select the cloned role and click the pencil edit button

   • To create a new role, click the + add button

2. Complete the dialog.

   1. Enter the Name of the role. The names of global roles must be unique

      • To create a local role, select the Enterprise that the role will belong to

      • To create a global role, select Make this role global

   2. Optionally, to create a list of network addresses from which users with this role can access the platform, enter Allowed CIDRs.
      The CIDRs from a user’s role and scope will apply to the user but allowed CIDRs set directly for the user will have the highest priority.

   3. Enter the corresponding External roles, e.g. LDAP group, for the user. This is required in external authentication modes (openid, ldap).
      A user's external roles must map to a single role (local or global). See LDAP and Active Directory Integration and Abiquo OpenID Connect Integration.
      You can also set external scopes.

      • Examples of external roles for LDAP:

        • ldap_group_01

        • ldap_group_02

      • Example for OpenID:

        • id=admins,ou=group,o=qa,ou=services,dc=openam,dc=forgerock,dc=org
