Virtual Data Center Permissions
Setting virtual data center permissions is useful when you want to restrict access to a virtual data center.
Every user does not need to have access to each virtual data center that is created. For example, if a virtual
data center has only production virtual machines, you want only a specific set of users (custom permission)
to have access to this virtual data center. Or if you create a virtual data center and add a few virtual
machines for a Proof of Concept (PoC), in which case, you do not want any other user except yourself (only
me permission) to access that virtual data center.
After creating a virtual data center, Virtual Private Cloud OnDemand Account Administrators can enable or
disable a specific set of users from accessing the environment via the UI or programmatically via the API.
In the UI, right-click on the virtual data center name and select Edit to choose one of the following
permissions:
All users All users can fully access the environment. This is the default permission setting.
Only me Only the account administrator can access the environment.
Custom A specific set of users can access the environment. Selecting this option opens a new window from where a
specific group of users can be selected to access the environment.
NOTE If a user is added to a virtual data center, then another user will not get access to it unless an Account
Administrator adds the second user to that virtual data center.
