Roles and Rights
vCloud Director uses roles and rights to determine what actions a user can perform in an organization.
vCloud 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 149.

Create a Role on page 127
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.
