Create Custom Role with specific rights in vCD!

Quite common requirement seen across many Tenants is to have “Custom Role” for there user with some custom “Rights“. So i decided to write about it.
Occasionally requirement can be meet using the Predefined Roles which are:

Organization Administration
Catalog Author
vApp Author
vApp User
Console Access Only

Sometimes, we create a Custom role with specific rights for there requirement.
In this post, i will provide a quick walk through for a Custom Role.

Step 1: Understand the “Rights” requirement, ensure they are not conflicting in any case.
Like maintaining the interdependency.

Step 2: Create the “Custom Role“:
On System Tab -> Administration -> Roles -> Click on +

Select the Organization in which the role needs to be created.
Provide the Name
Select the Rights as per requirement.(As per Screenshot 2)

Confirm the right selecting by clicking “Show only Selected right” and Ok to finish.

Step 3: Assign the Custom Role to a User:
Navigate to the concerned Org vDC – tenant, Administration -> Members -> Users -> Click on +

Create New User
Assign Username & credentials
Enable the User
Role -> Assign the Custom Role from the drop down menu.
Fill in the contacts info and Quota (if required) (as per Screenshot 4)

Confirmation:

Hope this helps
