To delegate responsibilities within your organization, Uyuni provides several roles with varying degrees of access. This list describes the permissions of each role and the differences between them:

As the master account for your organization, the person holding this role can alter the privileges of all other accounts of this organization, and conduct any of the tasks available to the other roles. Like with other roles, multiple Uyuni administrators may exist. Go to Main Menu › Admin › Users and click the check box in the SUSE Manager Admin row. For more information, see Section 18.3, “Main Menu › Admin › Users”.

+ A SUSE Manager Administrator can create foreign organizations; but a SUSE Manager Administrator can only create users for an organization if he is entitled with organization administrator privileges for this organization. * Organization Administrator — This role provides a user with all the permissions other administrators have, namely the activation key, configuration, channel, and system group administrator. A Organization Administrator is not entitled to perform actions that belong to the Main Menu › Admin features (see Chapter 18, Admin). * Activation Key Administrator — This role is designed to manage your collection of activation keys. A user assigned to this role can modify and delete any key within your organization. * Image Administrator — This role is designed to manage Image building. Modifiable content includes Image Profiles, Image Builds and Image Stores. A user assigned with this role can modify and delete all content located under the Main Menu › Images. These changes will be applied across the organization. * Configuration Administrator — This role enables a user to manage the configuration of systems within the organization, using either the Uyuni Web UI or tool from the rhncfg-management package. * Channel Administrator — This role provides a user with full access to all software channels within your organization. This requires the Uyuni synchronization tool (mgr-sync from the susemanager-tools package). The channel administrator may change the base channels of systems, make channels globally subscribable, and create entirely new channels. * System Group Administrator — This role limits authority to systems or system groups to which access is granted. The System Group Administrator can create new system groups, delete any assigned systems from groups, add systems to groups, and manage user access to groups.

Being a Uyuni administrator enables you to remove administrator rights from other users. It is possible to remove your own privileges as long as you are not the only Uyuni administrator.

To assign a new role to a user, check the respective box. Uyuni administrators are automatically granted administration access to all other roles, signified by grayed-out check boxes. Click Update to submit your changes.

This tab displays a list of system groups the user may administer; for more information about system groups, see Section 7.4, “Systems > System Groups”.

Uyuni administrators can set this user’s access permissions to each system group. Check or uncheck the box to the left of the system group and click the Update Permissions button to save the changes.

Uyuni administrators may select one or more default system groups for a user. When the user registers a system, it gets assigned to the selected group or groups. This allows the user to access the newly-registered system immediately. System groups to which this user has access are preceded by an (*).

This tab lists all systems a user can access according to the system groups assigned to the user.

To carry out tasks on some of these systems, select the set of systems by checking the boxes to the left and click the Update List button. Use the System Set Manager page to execute actions on those systems. Clicking the name of a system takes you to its System Details page. Refer to Section 7.3, “System Details”.

This tab lists all channels available to your organization.

Grant explicit channel subscription permission to a user for each of the channels listed by checking the box to the left of the channel, then click the Update Permissions button. Permissions granted by a Uyuni administrator or channel administrator have no check box but a check icon like globally subscribable channels.

Configure the following preference settings for a user.

Change these options to fit your needs, then click the Save Preferences button.
