And the platform also generates event messages for the user and the administrator. See Events table#Workloadtable in the “Workload” section.

The platform optionally displays allocation limits on the dashboard for users with the appropriate privileges. It marks soft limits in orange and hard limits in red.

...

To set enterprise allocation limits:

  1. Go to Users → edit an enterprise 

  2. Go to Allocation limits

  3. Complete the dialog.

Info

Allocation limit validation

  • To allow unlimited resources at this level, set the limits to 0

  • If you set a hard limit, you must also set a soft limit. The hard limit must be greater than the soft limit

  • You must set the hard limit above the level of resources that are already in use

...

In public cloud regions, the platform does not use repository (catalogue) features or limits.

Set a default role to limit tenant access to VDCs in a location

To give users different levels of access to virtual datacenters (VDCs) in specific providers or datacenters, administrators can assign a default role (with fewer privileges than user roles) for all VDCs in a location.
So this is a default value for the VDC role that you can set when you create or edit a VDC, that the administrator can later edit.

To control access for users of a tenant in a provider or cloud location with a default role:

  1. Go to Users → create or edit an enterprise → Datacenters → edit a provider or an allowed location → Defaults

  2. Select a default Role

  3. Continue configuring the provider or location or click Accept

At the provider level, the platform will copy the default role to all provider regions. The default role for a region will apply to all new virtual datacenters in the region.

Privileges: Manage enterprise reserved servers

Before you begin:

  1. Check that the physical machine is not already reserved or running VMs deployed by a different enterprise. 

To reserve physical machines for an enterprise:

  1. Go to Users → edit enterprise → Reservations 

  2. The platform will display a list of Available servers (Physical Machines) that are in the enterprise's Allowed datacenters. (See Allow a tenant to access datacenters and cloud providers). 

  3. Select the physical machine(s) in their Datacenter/Rack and drag them into the Reserved servers list 

To restrict the enterprise so that it may only deploy on the physical machines reserved for it (and not on any others)

  1. Mark the checkbox to Only use 'Reserved Servers'
