Installing a cluster to Nutanix requires an account with administrative privileges to read and create the required resources.
14
+
The installation program requires access to a Nutanix account with the necessary permissions to deploy the cluster and to maintain the daily operation of it. The following options are available to you:
15
+
16
+
* You can use a local Prism Central user account with administrative privileges. Using a local account is the quickest way to grant access to an account with the required permissions.
17
+
* If your organization’s security policies require that you use a more restrictive set of permissions, use the permissions that are listed in the following table to create a custom Cloud Native role in Prism Central. You can then assign the role to a user account that is a member of a Prism Central authentication directory.
18
+
19
+
Consider the following when managing this user account:
20
+
21
+
* When assigning entities to the role, ensure that the user can access only the Prism Element and subnet that are required to deploy the virtual machines.
22
+
* Ensure that the user is a member of the project to which it needs to assign virtual machines.
