Security Configuration for Virtualization

The Command Center has predefined user groups and roles that you can use to manage security for users, hypervisors, VM groups, and virtual machines.

Roles

Roles define a set of permissions. By associating roles, user groups, and users with a particular hypervisor, you can control access to the hypervisor and grant permissions to perform actions. By default, the Command Center has the following roles:

  • Administrator_Role

  • Alert Creator

  • Alert Owner

  • All Users Laptops

  • Backup operator_Role

  • Client Admins

  • Compliance

  • End Users

  • MSP Subscription: Only for MSP administrators managing a multi-tenant environment.

  • Restore operator_Role

  • View
