Overview of the role based access controls and permissions for the MyCloudIT platform and how to manage user access.
In the new MyCloudIT platform, apply specific role-based access controls (RBAC) to users when you add new or update users. Assigning users to a specific RBAC role only applies to the users utilizing the MyCloudIT platform and does not effect their access and permissions currently assigned in Azure portal.
There are 3 primary RBAC roles:
- Administrator: Grants the user create, edit, delete, and all special permissions.
- Use Case: Administrator is the only RBAC role that can remove a deployment, remove/delete a session host, or disable a user in the platform, for example.
- An Administrator is the only RBAC role where you can change a user's RBAC role.
- Contributor: Grants the user create and edit permissions but not delete or special permissions.
- Use Case: Contributors can create a new deployment, add a new session host, or add a new user to the platform, for example, but cannot remove the deployment, remove/delete a session host, or remove a user from the platform.
- In this RBAC role, specific links and buttons will be not accessible.
- Viewer: Grants the user the view permission only.
- Use Case; Viewers cannot create a new deployment, add a new session host, or add a new user to the platform, for example.
- In this RBAC role, specific links and buttons will be not accessible.
