Technical Tip : Creating per-VDOM administrators
Description
This article describes how to configure per-VDOM administrator accounts to only allow administrative access to specific VDOMs. For example per-VDOM administrators will allow both Company A and Company B to manage their respective VDOMs without allowing access to settings to other VDOMs or the global settings.
Solution
- To create a per-VDOM administrator for VDOM-A, go to System > Administrators and select Create New > Administrator.
- Enter a Username and set Type to Local User. Enter and confirm a Password. Set Administrator Profile to prof_admin.
Note: Use either the prof_admin or a custom profile for per-VDOM administrators.
- Remove the root VDOM from the Virtual Domains list and add VDOM-A.
