Creating Tenants in SCVMM 2012 SP1

No Comments

After creating Private Cloud in the previous post, we basically created a collection of resources (such as host groups, library objects) and assigned it to demo cloud for its use. Lets now create a new user role for this cloud to define access rights so that members/end-users can interact with this cloud.

Right click on Tenants and click on “Create User Role”

Name the user role:

User role profile for this user role:

For user roles, the profile description is as follows:
