Administration and User Management - Beam | Nutanix Community
Skip to main content

Beam allows you to do the following administrative controls.

  • Add and manage users accessibility to various cloud accounts in Beam.

  • Two types of access can be granted to a user.

    • Admin Access - The user gets read and write access to all cloud accounts added in your Beam account.

    • User Access - The administrator can grant Read Only or Read and Write permissions on selected cloud accounts to a user, thus allowing the administrator to exercise the principle of least privilege.
