Roles

You can create roles which can be assigned to WorkSpaces Manager portal administrators. Only these functions will be available to them from within the WorkSpaces Manager portal.

You add a new role by selecting the ‘Action’ button on top right. In this example, we want to create a role which only allows the user with that role assigned the ability to Restart, Stop and Start a users’ WorkSpace. When you have chosen the actions, select ‘Save’. You can change these at any time by double clicking on the role and saving it.

*NOTE: Roles also have the ability to be assigned to a set of regions and directories so that users and/or groups assigned to the role can only execute the actions (per example, restart, stop and start a WorkSpace) only if they have permissions to do so within that region or directory. In our example, we want to grant this role access to a set of options in eu-central-1 (Frankfurt region).

Roles can be associated to groups in Active Directory (AD), which will allow us to grant the permissions to all the members in that particular group without having to create individual administrators and assign a role.
When assigning a role to a group in AD, we do not need to specify the domain, just use the same name as the group in AD, WorkSpaces Manager will do the query and list the users that need to be created. If more users are added, WorkSpaces Manager will check and update the list every 15 minutes.
