Re: How to hide some server offerings?
It would be interesting to propose this feature for the new version of cloudstack, why not for the cs 4.3 ? Regards, Benoit. 2013/10/4 Alena Prokharchyk alena.prokharc...@citrix.com Rafael, there is no way to filter offerings by the caller type, not even in the DB. Public attribute means that the offering is available to everyone in the cloud; there is another alternative - offering can be domain specific. In this case it can be used by all users from this domain/its subdomains. As a workaround, you can set the name for the offerings you want to be visible to admin, with some prefix. And filter out those offerings when return the result to the regular user - but for that some custom modifications need to be done in the CS UI. -Alena.

Re: How to hide some server offerings?
Create domains and domain specific service offerings. It can be done, i know because we are doing in since v 3.* On 4/10/13 12:31 AM, Rafael Weingartner wrote: Hey all, I was wondering, I have some server offering that should just be used by the administrator, so, is it possible to hide them from normal users?

Re: How to hide some server offerings?
It's called inheritance. I put my public users to public domain. I put my private users to their private domain(s). And then I put specific service offerings to specific domains and are visible only there. I guess if i wanted something cross domains i would put it to domain root (like you) and everyone (because it's under domain root) would be able to use it.

Re: How to hide some server offerings?
Move those administrators to their own domains as normal users. Administrators will always be able to see/configure everything, that's the basic point of being administrator.

Re: How to hide some server offerings?
So you want to have a user(s), that can create new infrastructure (compute, storage nodes, networks) but it's not able to create service offerings on them? I guess no one envisioned such a need. Normally if one can manage infrastructure on which services will reside, it should be able to create service offerings too. For what you're trying to to (if i understand you right), i would have set up different, discrete CS installs.

Re: How to hide some server offerings?
Then use my previous suggestion. To write it again, step by step tutorial style. For users: 1. Create a new domain uder ROOT, let's say Public. 2. Create users in this Public domain. 3. Create service offerings specific/tied to Public domain. For admins: 1. Create a new domain under ROOT, let's say Private. 2. Create service offerings specific/tied to Private domain. Service offerings from Private and Public domain will be available to Administrators and service offerings from and only from Public domain will be available to users in Public domain. I could also write using CAPS LOCK as you did, but i don't think it would help you understand any better. Good luck and Regards, F.

These VMs use service offerings that provide much more resources, so they should not be used by normal users, and that's why we would like to hide them. So, THE ADMINISTRATORS CAN AND SHOULD USE THESE SPECIAL SERVICE OFFERINGS, but the rest of the cloud SHOULD NOT. 2013/10/4 France mailingli...@isg.si mailto:mailingli...@isg.si So you want to have a user(s), that can create new infrastructure (compute, storage nodes, networks) but it's not able to create service offerings on them?

Re: How to hide some server offerings?
Rafael, You can add a jira ticket and/or write a functional spec on the wiki. Of course if you want guarantee that it will be doen, you'll have to do it yourself. You can ask on the dev list for help if you don't feel up to it. regards, Daan On Fri, Oct 4, 2013 at 1:50 PM, Rafael Weingartner rafaelweingart...@gmail.com wrote: I strongly agree, it is something very interesting and pretty simple to code.
