Citrix SD-WAN Orchestrator

User settings

Role-based access control (RBAC) regulates access to Citrix SD-WAN Orchestrator service resources based on the roles assigned to individual users. RBAC allows users to access only the data that their role demands and restricts any other data.

A role defines the permissions to view and perform various activities on the Citrix SD-WAN Orchestrator service. Roles can be assigned at Provider and Customer level. Users can be assigned a role from the list of predefined roles or custom roles.

If a customer has Citrix Secure Internet Access subscription along with Citrix SD-WAN subscription, then the Administration > User Setting is common between Citrix Secure Internet Access and Citrix SD-WAN Orchestrator service. Provider-Master-Admin-All or Customer-Master-Admin role defined for Citrix SD-WAN can assign Citrix SD-WAN access level role (pre-defined or custom role) for other admin users. Similarly Customer-Master-Admin role defined for Citrix Secure Internet Access service can assign Citrix SIA level role (pre-defined or custom role) to other admin users.

Add users

New users can be added on Citrix Cloud. Navigate to Identity and Access Management > Administration tab and select Citrix Identity from the Select an identity provider drop-down list.

Once a customer role is assigned to an existing provider role, the customer role takes precedence and overrides the provider role.

Note

The Customer Master-Admin cannot delete or override Provider-Master-Admin-All, Provider-Master-Admin-Tenant, and Provider-Master-ReadOnly roles.

Support roles

For troubleshooting purposes, Providers and Customers can assign support roles and provide Support Team members the ability to view and edit their information.

Support roles have a validity period that is defined while assigning the role. The default validity period is for two weeks from the date the role is assigned. After the validity period expires, the support user loses access to Provider/Customer information. However, the support user details continue to appear under the Administration > User Settings. Based on the need, the Provider/Customer administrator can either delete or extend the validity of the support role.

You can assign support roles under Administration > User Settings.

Role Description
Provider-Support-ReadWrite A support team member who can view and edit the provider information
Provider-Support-ReadOnly A support team member who can only view the provider information
Customer-Support-ReadWrite A support team member who can view and edit the customer information
Customer-Support-ReadOnly A support team member who can only view the customer information

Change user roles

If a user is an administrator for more than one customer or provider, then the user is assigned with multiple roles. In such scenarios, the user can change the role and switch to the desired account for which the user is an administrator.

To change the role, click Change Role option at the top right portion of the screen. Select a role, and click Confirm.
