Delete an LDAP Group
You can remove a group of system administrators from the Cloud Director system by deleting their LDAP
group.
When you delete an LDAP group, users who have a Cloud Director account based solely on their membership
in that group will become stranded and unable to log in. See “Delete a System Administrator Who Lost Access
to the System,” on page 79.
Procedure
1 Click the Administration tab and click Groups in the left pane.
2 Right-click the group name and select Delete Group.
3 Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
Change an LDAP Group Description
You can add or modify the description of an LDAP group to provide more information about the group.
Procedure
1 Click the Administration tab and click Groups in the left pane.
2 Right-click the group name and select Properties.
3 Type a description for the group and click OK.
Roles and Rights
Cloud Director uses roles and rights to determine what actions a user can perform in an organization. Cloud
Director includes a number of predefined roles with specific rights.
System administrators and organization administrators must assign each user or group a role. The same user
can have a different role in different organizations. System administrators can also create roles and modify
existing ones.
For information about the predefined roles and their rights, see “Predefined Roles and Their Rights,” on
page 97.
Create a Role
If the existing roles do not meet your needs, you can create a role and assign rights to the role. When you create
a role, it becomes available to all of the organizations in the system.
Procedure
1 Click the Administration tab and click Roles in the left pane.
2 Click the New Role button.
3 Type a name and optional description for the role.
4 Select the rights for the role and click OK.
