When it comes to administering the Nutanix cluster, it's very important to control permissions and to restrict access to critical components such as CVMs, AHV hosts and the Prism UI.

Any user that has write access to these components can make drastic changes to the Nutanix environment and thus to your organization’s production/testing environment.

Here is how to reset the password for each of the components above:
