Manage Roles

To define how a user can work with resources, each user has a role with a group of privileges that allow access to different cloud features. You can create roles for each group of users such as cloud administrators, resellers, tenant administrators, standard users, and so on.

In addition, to define the resources that a user can view, access, and administer, each user also has an administration scope. And the user's enterprise has a list of allowed datacenters and public cloud regions that users can work in.

You can match user roles to OpenID, AD, or LDAP groups and when the platform will automatically create users and assign them the matching roles.

For information about the Abiquo concepts of enterprises and users, see Users in the Abiquo Walkthrough. 



API Documentation

For the Abiquo API documentation of this feature, see Abiquo API Resources and the page for this resource RolesResource.


Privilege: Access Roles and Scope screens

To manage roles, go to Users → Roles. By default, you will see the Global roles that are available to all enterprises and the platform will display them with "(Global)" after the name. To display the enterprise roles that belong to a specific enterprise, select the enterprise.


Create or modify a role

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.

Privilege: Access Roles and Scope screens, Manage roles, Manage global role

A user can only have one role, but a role can be associated with multiple OpenID, AD, or LDAP groups. To clone a role, click the clone button. 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
  2. Click the + Add button or Edit button and complete the following dialog.


Field

Description

Role name

The name of the role. Local roles in different enterprises can have the same names

Enterprise

The enterprise that a local role belongs to

Make this role global

To create a global role that can be used in all enterprises, mark the Make this role global checkbox.

Allowed CIDRsOptional: to create a default list of network addresses from which users with this role can access the platform, enter Allowed CIDRs. You can also set allowed CIDRs for a scope. The user will inherit the role and scope CIDRs. Any allowed CIDRs set directly for the user will have priority over these inherited allowed CIDRs.

External Roles

The corresponding external roles, e.g. LDAP group, for the user. 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 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

After you create or clone a role, select the role name in the list and edit the privileges as required, then click Save.

Modify the privileges of a role

To modify the privileges of a user role:

Privilege: Manage privileges


  1. Go to Users → Roles
  2. For a local role, select the enterprise that the role belongs to
  3. Select the role from the Roles list
  4. In the Privileges pane, select or deselect the privileges 
    • To add or remove groups of privileges, click the All privileges checkbox beside the group name
    • You cannot undo but you can discard the changes
  5. Save the changes by clicking Save
    • (warning) The platform will discard your changes if you do an action outside of the Privileges pane, for example, clicking on a another role name


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

Privileges table
