Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 Reviewer’s Guide 81
For example, a global organization may create a delegated administrator to manage just the VMs in
their Washington locations. This delegated administrator would then be able to work only with the VMs
in the group defined as Washington. The delegated administrator for Washington would not be able to
work with or even see other host groups, hosts, clusters and VMs that may be available.
To create a delegated administrator role, select the New User Role option from the User Role section
of the Actions pane. You will then see the Create User Role General dialog shown in Figure 61.
Figure 61. Create User Role dialog - Set up a new role
The User role name field at the top of the screen allows you to assign the new role a unique name. In
Figure 61, you can see that the new role is DelegatedAdminNY. The Description box provides a
complete description of the role to help identify and understand the role’s purpose. Use the User role
profile dropdown to select a type of role to create. In this example, it is the Delegated Administrator
profile.
Click Next to select the users authorized for the role.
