Description Marina Kalinin 2014-03-27 20:40:31 UTC

Title: Data Center Administrator Roles Explained
It is very not obvious to the user that the DataCenterAdmin role actually cannot perform any storage operations. As well, it is not clear from UI. That's why it misleads the users.

Suggestions for improvement:
1) adjust role description in the table to match the description in the database (see below).
2) we can also specify this more clear at the role description under chapter "3.7.1. Managing System Permissions for a Data Center"

Additional information:
From the database:
# select description from roles where name='DataCenterAdmin';
description                                              
---------------------
Administrator Role, permission for all the objects underneath a specific Data Center, except Storage
