As demonstrated in Chapter 4, Power User Portal a power user can create, manage and delete virtual machines, configure storage and networking, as well as migrate the virtual machine. These administrative privileges only apply to the virtual machines on which the user has PowerUserRole permissions, not all virtual machines in the system.
You should still be logged in to the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager administration portal as
admin. Repeat the same procedure as before to assign permissions.
To assign a system administrator role for a virtual machine
- On the Tree pane, click Expand All. Under the target data center and host cluster, click the Virtual Machines icon. The available virtual machines display in the Virtual Machines tab.
- Select the virtual machine that you want to assign users to, and click the Permissions subtab on the details pane. This example uses the
RHEL6Thamesvirtual machine. - Click to add an existing user. The Add Permission to User dialog displays. Enter rhevuser in the Search textbox, and click .
- Tick the check box of
rhevuser. Select the Assign role to user drop-down list and select PowerUserRole. - Click . The name of the user displays in the Permissions tab, with an icon and the assigned role.
You have now assigned administrative privileges for the RHEL6Thames virtual machine and also for the
local-iso-domain storage to the user named rhevuser. The next step is to test if the permissions have been assigned as expected.
