Assign permissions to the intelligent VM group

Things to consider before you assign the permissions to the VM group.

  • View/Update

    • All the clusters in the group, you must have VIEW permission.

    • Without VIEW permission on any of the cluster, you cant preview VMs of the group in Virtual machines tab.

    • The cluster for which you dont have permission is displayed with the lock sign.

    • The deleted cluster is displayed with X sign.

    • To add any new cluster in the existing VM group, you must have VIEW permission for the intended cluster.

    • To update the VM group, you must have VIEW permission on cluster. However, you can delete a non-existing cluster or a cluster without VIEW permission.

  • Protect

    • All the clusters in the group must have PROTECT permission.

    • To protect a VM group, you must have PROTECT permission on the all the clusters of the group and also on the VM group.

    • Without PROTECT permission on all the cluster, Backup Now is disabled.

    • Remove protection is enabled irrespective of permission on the clusters. It is driven only by permission on VM group.
