Roles in VMware Lab Platform

When a cloud organization owner creates a services account for VMware Lab Platform, the account owner assigns one or more VMware Lab Platform roles. Each role has a different set of permissions for accessing VMware Lab Platform user interfaces.

All roles, except for the User Role, must be set from the VMware Cloud Services Platform user interface by a cloud organization owner. The User Role assigned from the VMware Lab Platform administrator UI or from the VMware Cloud Services Provider interface.

Role	Description
User	Entitles user to log into the end-user interface and take a lab. The User Role does not include permission to use any other user interface (for example, no permission to the administrator UI or the Content Engine user interface).
Admin	You can assign the role of “Admin” to the user you are creating and as a result create another administrator. The Admin Role is the most powerful user within an account. It includes permission to all the user interfaces (for example, the administrator UI, the end-user interface, the Content Engine user interface, and so on).
Proctor	User you consider to be familiar with the content in the various labs of the account. When end users have a question with a lab, they can use an option on their lab console screen. The option runs an application running on the proctor’s mobile device to notify the proctor that someone needs help. A user having an Event/Proctor Role can log in to the administrator UI.
Support	Assigns a subset of the administrator permissions. A user having a Support Role can log in to the administrator UI. However, the system defaults to the Entitlement List and allows only the Reset/Remove vApp action.
Instructor	Users assigned this role appears in a list accessible from the Create Class form. An instructor can monitor the progress of selected students (a class), taking a specified lab at a specified time (instructor-led lab). A user having an Instructor Role can log in to the administrator UI. However, the system defaults to Class List and allows the user to modify a class. The system also allows a read-only permission to the Entitlement List. Note: The Portal Settings > Configuration page includes the setting Allow Instructors Access To All Classes. If activated, then an instructor can go to the Class List and view all the classes in the account. If deactivated, then the Class List lists only those classes to which the instructor is assigned.
Certification Grader	Users assigned this role can view a list of entitlements that must be graded and can assign them a score and a grade string. A user with a Certification Grader role user can edit these anytime until clicking Graded.
Content Creator	Users assigned this role have permissions only to the Content Engine. The Content Engine allows a user to create/edit/manage instructional content (lab manuals).
Group	Select a group or groups to associate with the user account.
