Overview

As a cloud administrator, you can:

  • Create a new role by importing rights from another role. You can import rights only from a single role. When you import rights from a role, the new role inherits all the rights of the imported role. However, you cannot import rights configured for the Druva Cloud Administrator and Cloud Administrator.

  • Create a custom role.


❗ Important

  • A Druva Cloud Administrator can be created only through the Druva Cloud Platform Console. Click on the global navigation panel icon > Home to launch the Druva Cloud Platform Console.

  • All other administrators can be created through the inSync Management Console.

  • Rights available to the pre-defined roles can be viewed and managed only through the inSync Management Console.

  • Only Druva Cloud Administrator and Cloud Administrator roles are available for the Business edition.
