Control Center

The Administration screen is the central point of administration within the Control Center. Using the Control Center from the Control Center Management PC, you can define classes of users that have access to the administration screen and its associated functionality. From the Control Center Administration screen, you have a comprehensive view of all users and logical server farms within an I-Fabric. You can do the following tasks from the Control Center Administration screen:

• Create and delete logical server farms

• Create and delete accounts

• Set usage limits

• Set user and administrator access privileges

• Add and remove logical server farms

• Add images to the image repository

• Remove images from the image repository

• Create and remove contracts

• Publish pertinent news items to accounts

You also can manage security rights and administration privileges from the Administration screen. The Control Center has three levels of access privileges:

• User Level – A standard user level that permits access to logical server farms within an account

• Account Manager Level – A manager within an account that permits the ability to add and delete users within an account

• Administrator – The highest level of access that permits access to the entire I-Fabric (including the control plane) as well as all accounts
