Notes
- User preferences are defined on a per-user basis and are used across all RightScale accounts.
The 'observer' role is required in order to operate the dashboard and change these settings. - Only RightScale accounts that have been properly enabled to view the ServerTemplates Usage Report will see this item in the Dashboard. (Reports -> Usage Estimate)
- Any user can log into the RightScale API. However, once you login, your user role privileges will take effect.
- Only the owner (identified by email) who created the SSH Key and 'admin' users can view/edit the private key material of an EC2 SSH Key.
- See description about 'billing' role on User Roles page.
- The user who originally created the credential will also be able to view the hidden value.
- A 'lite_user' has a limited view inside the Dashboard. See Enterprise User Roles for details.
