Network and Security Admin RBAC roles on NSX for VMC on AWS for SDDC version 1.24 and above.

Products

• VMware NSX Networking

Issue/Introduction

• VMware Cloud on AWS (VMC on AWS) will have 4 new NSX roles added at GA of version 1.24. These are NSX Security and Network Admin and corresponding Auditor roles in the Identity and access management (IAM) UI under the VMware Cloud Services Application Menu on the VMware console which will be applicable to Software-defined data centers (SDDCs) version 1.24 and above.

• Roles can be allocated to users within the organization, but  access to the Networking and Security UI and configuration will not be available to these users if SDDC versions are prior to version 1.24.
• This feature, once available on version 1.24 will provide similar role-based access control (RBAC) permissions on NSX for VMC on AWS as described here for On-premises versions of NSX-T:

• User guide and documentation on VMC on AWS will be updated after the GA of SDDC version 1.24.

Resolution

To use the Network and Security Admin and Auditor roles feature on NSX-T, an upgrade to the Software-defined data centers (SDDCs) to version 1.24 and above would be required.
