CMC login difference between admin and cloud admin

RADSr — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 19:27:53 GMT

I know there are ( were? ) some differences in configuration capabilities between logging in as "admin" v "cloud admin" to a CMC. I *thought* I had asked this on Community before but I'm not seeing it w/ a search so ... perhaps not. 😉

In any case - are the differences documented somewhere?

As a bonus question... why the difference? I've gotten "admin" for some clusters and "cloud admin" for others. Enquiring minds...

@RADSr - The differences are built 'across' the documentation. Some configurations are not available to the cloud admin in the CMC. These configurations are marked in this document with an asterisk (*).

Thanks @JoeM - I get some of those ( e.g. log file granularity - although it would be very helpful to be able to set that when troubleshooting ) but the whole thing seems odd. I've got admin access on some clusters and cloud admin access on others. <shrug> In any case, I appreciate the link! Thx!

I'm going to give this a bump as I've just started a new cluster ( thank you cloud team for the quick turnaround! ) and have the welcome email with "cloud admin" creds?

I'm willing to accept that there is a tech or operational reason, but it does at first ( and second, third, ... ) blush seem somewhat arbitrary as to who/which cluster gets "admin" v "cloud admin."

Any notion as to that reasoning?
