The system administrator, as the SuperUser, manages all aspects of the Administration Portal. More specific administrative roles can be assigned to other users. These restricted administrator roles are useful for empowering a user with certain administrative privileges that limit them to a specific resource: a DataCenterAdmin role has administrator privileges only for the assigned data center, a StorageAdmin has administrator privileges only for the assigned storage domain, and so forth.

A storage administrator is a system administration role for a specific storage domain only. This is useful in data centers with multiple storage domains, where each storage domain requires a system administrator. Use the Configure button in the header bar to assign a storage administrator for all storage domains in the environment.

The storage domain administrator role permits the following actions:

You can also change the system administrator of a storage domain by removing the existing system administrator and adding the new system administrator.
