Veritas Velocity™ User's Guide

Velocity administrator

When an organization is created in the Veritas Application Portal, the initial user is created as a Velocity administrator.

Only Velocity administrators can assign additional users to the Velocity administrator role.

Each organization has at least one Velocity administrator who oversees all users and data in the system. This includes creating, listing, editing, and deleting users, and managing Velocity Storage Servers. The Velocity administrator can access all dialogs in the Velocity Cloud Console and can view all sandboxes, database sources, and database copies.

Velocity requires at least one Velocity administrator. You cannot remove all of your organization's users from this role.

Database administrator

The Velocity administrator assigns users to this role.

A database administrator manages databases and configures who can access them.

The database administrator creates database sources in Velocity by adding databases. When a database is added, the database administrator becomes the owner of the database. The database can now be ingested.

After the database is ingested, the database administrator can use a role to grant users access to the database source. Users with the appropriate permissions can create sandboxes from the database source. The database administrator can use multiple roles to define the groups of sandbox users that are authorized to access specific databases.

Sandbox user

The Velocity administrator or the database administrator assigns users to this role.

A sandbox user has access to specific databases and database copies. Sandbox users can create sandboxes based on the databases that are available to them.
