    How to manage VMware Cloud Director permissions in the UKCloud Portal

    Overview

    In the UKCloud Portal, you can control the access that a Portal user has to the different virtual data centres (VDCs) in your organisation.

    Intended audience

    To complete the steps in this article you must be a Portal administrator.

    User roles and access rights

    For a list of the access rights each user role has, see the Rights in Predefined Global Tenant Roles VMware article.

    API Only role

    UKCloud for VMware includes an API Only role that restricts users with VMware Cloud Director permissions to accessing VMware Cloud Director solely via the API, with no tenant portal access.

    Note

    If you select the API Only role, you must also select one of the VMware Cloud Director roles (Admin, Catalogue Author, vApp Author, vApp User or Console Only). You should not select the API Only role on its own.

    Configuring permissions

    To configure permissions for a Portal user:

    1. Log in to the UKCloud Portal as an administrator.

    2. In the Portal navigation panel, expand the Contacts option and select All Contacts.
