Deliver managed services with restricted networks

Restricted networks may be external, unmanaged, or public networks. Customers can use them to deliver managed services and for VM maintenance and control purposes.

To attach or detach NICs in restricted networks to VMs, users require these privileges:

• Attach NICs in restricted networks to VMs

• Detach NICs in restricted networks from VMs

By default, only the CLOUD_ADMIN role has these privileges.

To restrict access to a network, when you create or edit the network, select the Restricted option.

Open

This functionality is available in the API, using the restricted attribute of the VLANNetwork media type. 

If the user has the privilege to attach or detach NICs in these networks, then they can manage the network IP addresses when configuring a VM. See VM network.
