Overview

FluidVM is a multi-user system with 4 classes of users. Objects like Compute Nodes and Virtual Servers can be assigned to users by Administrators or by other owners. Users can also be give permission to create Virtual Servers and various limits can be set on the Compute Nodes and storage targets they can use. When a user creates another user, the newly created user becomes his child. Not all users can create other child users. They need to have the rights to create them. These rights are specified by the parent users.

In a default installation of the FluidVM Management Server, a user named admin is created. He is the super-user and has all rights defined in the FluidVM system. The super-user's rights cannot be edited.

User Classes

The four classes of users are:
● Administrators
● Node Owners
● Virtual Server Owners
● Users
