Group Permissions

Groups have an optional list of permissions attached to them. When a user logs in, all permissions across all groups the user is a member of are aggregated and determine what actions a user is authorized for. There are two built in groups, Administrators and All Users. The Administrators group has the Global Admin permission while the built-in All Users group has the User permission. All users are automatically a member of the All Users group.

To configure group settings:

  • Log into the UI as an administrator.

  • Select Groups

  • Next to the desired group select Edit from the actions menu.

  • Select the Permissions tab to view and edit the permissions applied to the group.

Permission Changes

A user’s permissions are embedded in their session token, which is generated on login. A user’s token lifetime is controlled by the Session Lifetime global setting. The UI will get a new session token every 5 minutes. The fastest way to get new permissions to apply, is to have the user log out and log back in, otherwise, the change will apply generally within 5 minutes.

Permission Dependencies

While most permissions can stand alone, there are dependencies between some permissions. Generally, a Modify, Create, and/or Delete permission will need the corresponding View permission. The following are additional permission dependencies, which means you will need to grant multiple permissions to have the desired effect.

  • Licenses View requires System View

  • Permissions View requires Groups View

  • Registries View requires Images View, System View, and Agents View

  • Autoscale View requires Server Pools View

  • Autoscale Schedule View requires Server Pools View

  • DNS Providers View requires Server Pools View

  • VM Providers View requires Server Pools View and Autoscale View

  • Users Delete requires Sessions Delete if the target user has running sessions and Users Modify

  • Users Delete requires Users Modify Admin to delete a user that has the Global Admin permission

  • Egress Gateways Create, Egress Gateways Modify, Egress Gateways Delete, Egress Credentials Create, Egress Credentials Modify and Egress Credentials Delete require Egress Providers Modify.

There are many cases where multiple permissions are not required, however, certain UI elements will be hidden if the user does not have the permissions to view them. For example, a user may have permissions to View Images, however, they may not have permissions to View Servers. If the user goes to view an individual Workspace Image that targets a Server, they will not see the drop down to view or edit the server the image is targeting.

Special Permissions

There are more available permissions around groups, beyond the basic View, Create, Modify, and Delete. The Groups View IfMember and Groups Modify IfMember allow a user to view or modify a group if they are a member of that group. This does not extend to built-in system groups (All Users and Administrator). To edit or view System groups, they will also need the Groups View/Modify System permission.

There is an additional permission that protects modification of users with the Global Admin permission. In order to modify a Global Admin, the user requesting the modification must themselves be a Global Admin or have the User Modify Admin permission.

There are two permissions that allow modifications to Workspace Images, Images Modify and Images Modify Resources. The Images Modify allows modification of all Image settings except those that would modify the physical/virtual compute resources. The following settings require the Images Modify Resources permission to edit:

  • GPU Count

  • Cores

  • Memory

  • CPU Allocation Method

  • Uncompressed Image Size

  • Docker Registry

  • Docker Registry Username

  • Docker Registry Password

  • Hash

  • Volume Mappings

  • Docker Run Config Override

  • Docker Exec Config
