4.1. Lab 4 - Objectives
The power user portal is a trimmed-down version of the administration portal, tailored for end user self provisioning of virtual machines. It is simultaneously a gateway for logging in to virtual machines, and also a platform to create virtual machines and manage resources specific to those virtual machines. This lab illustrates the functions of the power user portal, which is available to users with PowerUserRole permissions. At the end of this lab you will be able to create and manage virtual machines from the power user portal.
This lab assumes that you have correctly installed and configured Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization so you can log in to the power user portal. You should have at least two running virtual machines in your environment.
To log in to the power user portal, you need a Red Hat Enterprise Linux client running Mozilla Firefox 3.5 and higher (you can use your Manager server).
Lab 4 - Objectives
This lab takes you through the tasks necessary to create virtual machines from the power user portal and assign user permissions. This lab should take you about 35 minutes.
