How to Implement Role-Based Access Controls with Nutanix

In our demo lab we provide a read-only account to customers to look at our live Nutanix block.  What we did recently to enhance that user experience was to tie in their AD account into our Nutanix block.

Here’s how we did it:

Solution
Prerequisites

-The cluster must be added to an Active Directory domain before configuring role mappings.

The command “ncli authconfig create-directory” will add the system into active directory (This can also be done via the gui).

To configure role mappings, the command “ncli authconfig add-role-mapping” is used.

The roles that can be assigned are…

ROLE_CLUSTER_ADMIN
ROLE_USER_ADMIN
ROLE_CLUSTER_VIEWER

The below example will map the group IT-managers to a cluster administrator role…

ncli authconfig add-role-mapping name=production_domain type=group values=IT-managers role=ROLE_CLUSTER_ADMIN

Syntax info

Name — This is the name of the configured domain (can list this with “ncli authconfig list-directory”)

Type — Specify “user” or “group”

Values — name of the user or group being added. You specify multiple users/groups using comma as a separator

Role — The role you want to specify
