DR and Migration Personas #

In the VMware Cloud Director Availability terminology, there are two types of personas:

• Service providers manage VMware Cloud Director Availability objects and the local VMware Cloud Director Availability appliances after authenticating as VMware Cloud Director System Administrator users. By default, the System Administrator role has all VMware Cloud Director rights. Users belonging to that role can manage any local and monitor any remote VMware Cloud Director Availability inventory object. To manage VMware Cloud Director Availability objects in the remote site, authenticate as a System Administrator to the remote site.
• Tenant users perform disaster recovery operations and manage local VMware Cloud Director Availability objects after authenticating as VMware Cloud Director Organization Administrator users. These users can perform disaster recovery operations in the local site, can manage any local VMware Cloud Director Availability object, and can monitor any remote VMware Cloud Director Availability object that belongs to the VMware Cloud Director organization. To manage remote VMware Cloud Director Availability objects, authenticate as an Organization Administrator user to the remote site.
