You can create Horizon Cloud administrative users and assign them roles. The roles grant the administrative users specific permissions in the Horizon Universal Console.
Each role gives create, read, update, and delete permissions to the specified area, and read permissions only to everything else.
| Horizon Roles | Area of Permissions |
|---|---|
| Administrator | Access to entire UI and API. The Administrator role grants a user the ability to generate perpetual license keys in their Horizon subscription. Only users who have been granted the Administrator role are able to generate keys. Note: Assigning the Omnissa Intelligence Administrator role also grants Administrator roles privileges in Horizon Cloud. |
| Read-Only Administrator | Read-Only access to UI and API Note: Assigning the Omnissa Intelligence Basic role also grants Read-Only Administrator role privileges in Horizon Cloud. |
| Pool Administrator | Pools and VMs |
| Deployment Administrator | Horizon Edges, Unified Access Gateways, Providers |
| Pool Group Administrator | Pool Groups |
| Entitlement Administrator | Entitlements |
| Image Administrator | Images |
| Help Desk Administrator | Virtual Machine Power Operations and User Session Operations |
