Assigning a Template to a Role

You can assign templates to a role to restrict a user’s access to all templates. For example, you could specify that only users with administrator privileges can access the Volume Assignment template.

IMPORTANT: You must belong to a role that has “Provisioning Administration” privileges to be able to assign templates to a role. The domain administrator and storage sdministrators roles have these privileges by default. To determine if your role has “Provisioning Administration” privileges, your domain administrator will need to go to the Security > Users page in Storage Essentials, and click the name of the role to see which privileges are assigned to your role.

To assign templates to a role:

1.Click Tools > Storage Essentials > Provisioning Manager.

2.In the right pane, click Start Here on the Path Provisioning tab.

3.Click Assign Templates.

4.Open the Select Role menu and select the role you want to have access to the Path Provisioning template.

For a role to appear in the Select Role menu, it must have the following attributes:

Has provisioning privileges, meaning it has enough privileges to access Path Provisioning.

Does not have provisioning administration privileges. Roles that have Provisioning Administration privileges do not appear in the Select Role menu.

5.In the Provisioning Templates pane, select one of the following options for access to the templates for the users belonging to the role you selected in step 4:

Select the templates from the Assigned Provisioning Templates panel you want the users to be able to access and click Add.

Click Add All >> to make all templates available to the users assigned to the selected role.

Select the templates you do not want the users to be able to access and and click <Remove.

Click << Remove All to make all of the templates unavailable to the users assigned to the selected role.

The templates the users belonging to the selected role will be able to access appear in the Assigned Provisioning Templates panel.

6.When you are done, take one of the following actions:

Click Apply to apply your changes and keep the Provisioning Template Configuration dialog box open.

Click OK to apply your changes and leave the Provisioning Template Configuration dialog box.

Click Cancel to leave the Provisioning Template dialog box without saving your changes. You will lose your changes unless you had previously clicked Apply.
