Adding roles and permissions

Hello

I am trying to install a role and authorization in vCenter 4.1 so that another user of vCenter 'read only' access can display CapacityIQ. Documents say to seek a role capacity IQ, but I have not found one. By the documentation.

Procedure
1. reboot the vSphere Client.
2. Add the global privilege CapacityIQ in a new or existing role.
3 right click on the folder root of the server vCenter in the inventory tree and select Add permission.
4 in the dialog box assign permissions, assign the new role or existing user that accesses CapacityIQ.

The global privilege CapacityIQ there simply isn't. How can I add this to so I can grant the necessary access?

Thoughts anyone?

Best regards

Hey Ed,.

I see my Caron, there is a privilege 'CapacityIQ' in the category 'Global' of roles. What do you see in your environment? I do not see a role 'default' created by Caron, so think you must associate a user with this privilege. I'm running the 1.5.0 last version of Caron, if this can help

  • Associate roles and permissions to users who are on a database

    Hello

    I want to achieve secure authentication I used the Configuration of the ADF, but I discovered that I can't put my users to my database. I can just create users with roles in Jdeveloper.

    don't you how we can put users in Jdeveloper and associate the roles and permissions?

    If you don't want to use the Adf security, you must use a custom security implementation or use a traditional J2EE security implementation.

    Remember, ADF is little wild for newbes, just be patient and read the documentation (it is useful).

    If you have any more questions, and then close the case.

    Depending on how deeply nested and common names are and would need to be analyzed, but essentially, Yes. If you re-create your folder structure to match your original vCenter, then you can apply the permissions in the appropriate folders and as long as it spread is set accordingly, it must inherit for sub folders similar to how they were put in the original vCenter.

    One caveat is that you must export both custom roles/privileges.

  • How can I save vCenter roles and permissions

    As you know the permissions and roles of vCenter are stored locally in a database of ADAM, even when the main inventory SQL server database is on a different system.   I backup my separately from SQL server database but do not save the local database of ADAM.  What is the best way to save the ADAM database if there are no backups at the hypervisor level of vCenter server? vCenter server is virtualized and unfortunately only in guest-backup agents are allowed by this company, no backups of VMDK.  Solutions of VADP are not allowed.   Thank you!

    This information is part of the VCDB as well, and if you save the VCDB you will be covered.  However, you can manually save ADAM if you wish.

  • University Complutense of MADRID and Weblogic users, groups, roles, and permissions

    Hello

    I could not get the AAU to honour the permissions of the user defined in Weblogic. Here's what I do:

    1. create a Weblogic group called "contributor".

    2 create a role in the UMC called "contributor" with permissions of read/write on the PUBLIC group

    3. Add a user in Weblogic called "testuser" and make him a member of the employee group

    4. connect to the Complutense University of MADRID as a "testuser".

    5 testuser has only the permissions "guest."

    UCM is NOT honoring the contributor of Weblogic group membership. The documentation says if I create a Weblogic group with exactly the same name as being instrumental in the University Complutense of MADRID, the permissions should be granted properly but I didn't actually work.

    Someone saw this? I would supremely, manage users and authorization in a unique place with a minimum of fuss.

  • vCOps of roles and responsibilities

    Hello guys,.

    I have a lot of questions revolve in my mind about vCOps of roles and responsibilities.

    Here's a scenario: I for two teams A and B, where I created two dashboards customized for them in the page of the user interface customized vCOps. The team should not have access to Team B dashboard and vice versa. How can we acheieve this?

    Is there an audit of the tools that can show who has what level of access in the vCenter or vCOps? No matter what shell Scipt power to track changes in the roles and responsibilities of the environment?

    I will be grateful if someone can help me with that?

    Thank you

    You can create new groups in Ops vC for each team (under Admin > Security) and then share dashboards with only the groups that need access.  The access rights for the Group would be limited to these capabilities of dashboard you want to that they, like the change of interactions, resize/move widgets, edit widgets, even creating new dashboards...

    In regard to audits, go to Admin > Audit report user where you can run a report of users, groups and permissions.

  • Security roles and workflow management groups

    People,

    There is a section on Workflow management groups and security roles in vCloud Request Manager Installation and Configuration Guide - Guide of Directors Chapter 5 and 6. I have difficulty working on the relationship between the two settings.

    My first question is around the goal of the WM default checkbox that the specific guide is used to set the default user workflow management group.

    What would a never used default WM? I mean, what would he ever substitute the other workflow management groups that you define.

    In addition, in the guide, it say cloud Blueprint Admin and Asset Manager security role is a combination of the Admin of Blueprint of cloud and the Asset Manager. Is cloud Blueprint Admin & Asset Manager being the two groups of workflow management, reasonable to assume that a security role is composed of workflow management groups?

    And when I select agent, I do not see a cloud Blueprint Admin and Asset Manager security role listed?

    Finally, is there a way to determine the exact permissions that contains a workflow management group/security role?

    Thank you

    Cormac

    The Group Management (WM) default workflow is largely an artifact of vSM based vRM.

    VSM, a group of WM is a collection of agents used to apply security and route of tasks, among other responsibilities. (For the purpose of vRM, an agent can defined as users who have access to the vRM admin interface).

    vRM mainly use WM groups as a way to deliver relevant communications to users based on their responsibilities for example vCD Admins, Asset Managers etc. vRM does not require other functions related to WM groups.

    For functional reasons, vSM requires that each officer with access to the capabilities of WM belong at least a WM group. In addition, at least one of these groups must be designated the default WM for this officer group. These functional reasons are not immediately relevant to the specific use of vRM rest however case the constraint. Suffice to say for vRM, every WM user must have a WM group by default even if this information must never be used.

    Roles and groups are separate entities. A role defines a set of privileges to access a particular functional area of the admin interface for example a role WM sets permissions to interact with the workflow. of the roles of management (CM) configuration sets permissions to review and modify records in the repository of vRM.

    A special role of WM can be associated with one or more groups WM. When this WM role is assigned to a user, that user inherits groups associated with this role, WM allowing to simplify the administration of groups. An individual user can also have other WM assigned groups to them directly, complementary to those inherited from their role of WM.

    At an abstract level, vRM defines three types of users of the admin interface:

    1 vCD Admins

    2. plan Admins

    3. managers

    However, the security of MSM model requires that each individual user must be implemented with several components. By default, vRM sets a "Asset Managers" WM Group of what assets all managers must belong. However, WM groups cannot be used to give access to the features as well, so a separate from the "Asset Managers" WM role is obliged to grant access to these features asset managers. By default, the role of "Asset Manager" WM is associated with the "Asset Managers" group such that any user who is assigned the role automatically belongs to the Group also. There is also a separate 'Asset Managers' CM role that gives asset managers they need to the repository vRM for example the possibility to add new licenses for software products.

    This model of definitions is repeated for 3 personas above with a group and several roles defined for each. When an administrator assigns a user to one of these characters they should assign the groups and roles appropriate according to the documentation. They should not need to be concerned by the distinctions between each component.

    The role of the "Plan Director Admin and Asset Manager" reflects that a user may need to be asset manager and a Director of Blueprint. Because a user can have a role to the maximum by functional area, vRM provides a compound that provides two sets of permissions. However, a user can belong to several groups WM, so it is never necessary to provide a composite group.

    The role of composite is there; just maybe not where you expect to find. Blueprint Admins do not need to access WM, so there is not a 'Blueprint' Admin or a composite WM role. Blueprint Admins do need access to configuration management so it's an "Admin blueprint" and a role of CM composite.

    The details of the user screen provides:

    • a summary of all groups to which a user belongs

    • provides a 'Détails' button to drill down on each role assigned to the user to inspect the permissions granted by this particular role

    You must be a vCD Admin to see areas of the screen.

  • Trying to auto generate roles and privileges

    Hello all,.

    Oracle 11g v11.2.0.1.0 on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise

    I have a database with many schemas. One of the patterns is referred to as the CM_MASTER schema in that it was granted the following: s/n, create user, drop user, alter user, create any table, select any table and a few others, all with the clause "with admin option".

    We have developers who need to select only the access to tables and views non-maitre patterns. My plan was to create a unique ROLE for each schema, then grant select on each table and discovers in this scheme to this unique role. Then grant the role appropriate to every developer therefore giving them only read access.

    I can accomplish the above manually when you are logged in as the CM_MASTER schema.

    I am creating a procedure owned and run by the schema CM_MASTER which creates a new role and then give this role. The procedure accepts a parameter that contains the username of the target schema. The procedure is able to create the role (create a role scott_r) successfully.

    However, I get an error of insufficient privileges (see below), after that the role was created, trying to issue the command "grant select on scott.some_table to scott_r" via "immediate execution".

    Any ideas, what privilege (s) the user needs CM_MASTER to be able to issue the grant (s) for the role?

    Error message below:

    exec ('scott') gen_schema_role;

    Hello

    It seems that CM_MASTER needs to GRANT any OBJECT PRIVILEGE.

    And this should be given directly to him (not by the role DBA, which you shouldn't use anyway)

    My guess is, however, that this will not work unless scott has actually created his own one or more tables.
