Identity and Access Management: Roles

As an Organization Owner user, you grant Omnissa Cloud Services users role-based access when you invite them to join your Organization.

You view and manage user roles in your Organization from the Identity and Access Management > Active Users menu in Cloud Services Console.

Organization Roles and Permissions

Access to an Organization's resources is determined by the role assigned to each user in the Organization. Each user can be assigned one or more of the following roles in an Organization:

  • Organization Owner
  • Organization Member
  • Organization Administrator

To see the permissions for each Organization role, refer to What Organization roles are available in Omnissa Cloud Services.

Service Roles and Permissions

Omnissa Cloud Services come with a pre-defined built-in set of service roles that can be assigned to users in the Organization. Organization Owner users grant other users in the Organization access to cloud services according to the roles provided by each cloud service. For more information about built-in service roles, refer to the documentation of the relevant Omnissa Cloud Service.

What Organization roles are available in Omnissa Cloud Services

Users of Omnissa Cloud Services can have any of the following Organization roles in any Organization: Organization Member, Organization Administrator, or Organization Owner.

Organization roles and permissions

The level of permissions for each Organization varies:

  • The Organization Owner role has full administrative access to all resources in the Organization.
    • Organization Owner users can also self-assign roles to themselves.
  • The Organization Administrator role has limited administrative access.
    • Organization Administrator users can assign services roles to any organization role, but can manage only users, groups and OAuth apps that have roles with the same or lower administrative permissions.
    • For example, an Organization Administrator user can grant or manage access for other users and groups who have the Organization Member or Organization Administrator role in the Organization, but cannot manage users, groups, or resources who are assigned the Organization Owner role.
  • The Organization Member role has read-only access to the Organization resources.

Here's what you need to know about the permissions of the three Organization roles in Omnissa Cloud Services. If a user is assigned roles that conflict with one another, they receive the role that has greater permissions.
