Add a consumer administrator

You must create at least one consumer before you can add a consumer administrator role to it. You can also add a consumer administrator during the creation of your first consumer.

Consumer administrators are mid-level administrators that may not have access to the entire cluster but only to specific branches of the consumer tree. They administer performance and planning for specific consumers and all consumers in the same branch. A consumer administrator is a user account set as a consumer administrator during the creation or modification of a consumer.

Note:

You can only add or remove a consumer administrator at the top-level consumer. The user account you specify as a consumer administrator is automatically an administrator for all consumers in that branch.

  1. Create a new user account.
  2. Go to Consumers > Consumer & Plans.

    Existing consumers display.

  3. Select the top-level consumer you want to assign a consumer administrator to. Alternatively, you can create a new consumer from the Global Actions list.

    Depending on your action, either the Consumer Properties or Create a Consumer page displays.

  4. From the section Specify administrators for this consumer, select the user account from the list and click Add.

    The user account you selected is added to the list of administrators for this consumer.

    You can specify as many administrators as you want for a consumer. Move multiple user accounts to the administrator list at once by holding down either Shift or Ctrl while you click.

  5. Click Apply (or Create) to save your changes.

    Your page closes and the list of consumers and their properties refreshes.

You have added a consumer administrator to a top-level consumer and any current or future consumers in this branch.
