Grant an NSX Edge Cluster to a VMware Cloud Director Sub-Provider Organization

You can use the Service Provider Admin Portal to grant to your sub-providers NSX edge clusters.

Starting with VMware Cloud Director 10.6, organizations can have sub-provider rights and capabilities that allow them to manage their own tenants. See Overview of VMware Cloud Director Administration. As a service provider, you can grant resources to your sub-providers that they can manage. One of the resources you can grant are NSX edge clusters.

You cannot grant NSX Data Center for vSphere backed edge clusters to sub-provider organizations.

You can also use the VMware Cloud Director Tenant Portal to grant NSX edge clusters to a sub-provider organization. You can start the wizard by selecting Administration from the primary left navigation panel, and from the secondary left panel, select NSX-T Edge Clusters.

Prerequisites

• Verify that your VMware Cloud Director deployment has at least one imported NSX edge cluster. See Import Your NSX Edge Clusters to VMware Cloud Director.
• Verify that your VMware Cloud Director deployment has at least one sub-provider organization. See Create a VMware Cloud Director Organization.

Procedure

1. From the primary left navigation panel, select Resources, and from the page top navigation bar, select Infrastructure Resources.
2. From the secondary left navigation panel, under NSX-T, select NSX-T Edge Clusters.
   The list displays the imported edge clusters.
3. Click the name of an edge cluster, and from the page-level left navigation, select Grants.
4. Click New.
