You can add or remove access to a tier for all enterprises on the Enterprise access tab of the tier, or for a single enterprise at Users → edit Enterprise → Allowed datacenter → Datastore tiers.

EnableEnable or disable this tier. Disable a tier to block access when creating and configuring tiers, and when performing maintenance. You cannot disable a tier if it contains hard disks. You cannot set a disabled tier as the default.
Default

Make this tier the default for the datacenter. If no VM tier is set, and no default tiers of higher priority are set, the platform will select this tier.

The order of priority of default tiers is:

  1. template disk
  2. virtual datacenter
  3. datacenter
  4. any of the allowed tiers

If this tier is selected and it is not functional, deploy will fail with a scheduler error.
