Roles

Within WorkSpaces Manager, Roles are a set of permissions that can be assigned to advanced users or Administrators. Custom Roles can be tailored to different needs, based on actions that can be performed or locations, per example.

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).
