CloudShell User Permission Levels (RBAC)

This article lists the different actions each user type can perform in CloudShell. In the tables below, supported actions are indicated in green while unsupported actions are red.

For more information about group roles and access levels, see Managing CloudShell Groups.

note

In the tables below, "View Only access" indicates the permissible actions for users who are members of a group that is defined as View Only in the domain. For more information, see Associating groups with a domain.

Blueprints

The following table shows which actions are available for each CloudShell user type in a blueprint.

The permissible actions in a blueprint for users other than the blueprint owner are determined by a combination of the user type, group's role (regular, domain, external), and the group's access level (whether the group is defined as View Only in the current domain).

note

For brevity, the "Edit" action indicates the user type can create, edit and delete the element.

* indicates that the action is available to the blueprint owner

** indicates that the option can be hidden from non-admin users with the BlockPackageExportForNonAdmins key

*** If the <add key="OnlyAllowNewEnvironmentsFromTemplates" value="true"/> key is defined on the server , users can only create blueprints from a template but not from scratch (empty blueprints). However, if there are no templates assigned to the domain, users of that domain cannot create new blueprints. For details, see The + Create Blueprint Link is Missing From the Blueprint Catalog.

Sandboxes

The permissible actions in a sandbox are determined by a combination of the user type, group's role (regular, domain, external), and the group's access level (whether the group is defined as View Only in the current domain), and the current sandbox status.

Permissible actions according to user type

The following table shows which actions are available for each CloudShell user type in a sandbox (applies to sandbox consumers that are neither Owner nor Permitted User in the sandbox). Note that sandboxes of other users in the domain can be hidden from regular users using the ShowOtherUserInDomainReservations key.

Insight dashboard

If Sisense is configured to work with SSO from CloudShell, the first time a CloudShell user (any user role) logs in to Insight, a user is created in Sisense with Viewer permissions (CloudShell user must have an email). For designer or admin privileges, customize the user’s role in Sisense or contact Quali Support.

For information about Sisense user permissions, see Sisense Documentation.

Manage dashboard

The following table shows which actions are available for each CloudShell user type in the Manage dashboard. This only applies to system administrators and domain administrators as other user types cannot access this dashboard. Note that system admins can allow domain admins to manage drivers using the HideDriversTabInManage key.

note

For brevity, the "Edit" action indicates the user type can both view and edit the element.

** indicates that the user type can only access the element in their own domain.
