VCD User Management (for admins)

Overview

To grant a user access to a VCD tenancy you will need the following Roles. Please refer to our guide on managing user roles to get these Roles mapped to your user:

These roles will grant you the access required to manage users in your organisation. This allows you to give them access to your organisation's VMware Cloud Director (VCD) tenancies.

The steps for doing this are:

1. Find the Group associated with the VCD tenancy + Role that you want to grant access to
2. Add the user to that group
