Configuring Role-Based Delegated AdministrationOne key management task in an Omnissa Horizon environment is to determine who can use Horizon Console and what tasks those users are authorized to perform. With role-based delegated administration, you can selectively assign administrative rights by assigning administrator roles to specific Active Directory users and groups. Add an Access Group in Horizon ConsoleYou can delegate the administration of specific machines, desktop pools, or farms to different administrators by creating access groups. By default, desktop pools, application pools, and farms reside in the root access group. Move a Desktop Pool or Farm to a Different Access Group in Horizon ConsoleAfter you create an access group, you can move automated desktop pools, manual pools, or farms to the new access group. Remove an Access Group in Horizon ConsoleYou can remove an access group if it does not contain any object. You cannot remove the root access group. Review the Objects in an Access GroupYou can view the desktop pools, application pools, and farms in a particular access group in Horizon Console.
