“User Admins” and “Users” are roles acted by people external to CINECA staff (Exceptions are made for internal services). User Admins can create VM instances and configure the resources via dashboard; “Users” do not access the dashboard and are local to each VM instance (for example those added via add user linux command).
Any user (“User Admins" or “Users”) with administration privileges on IaaS resources (VMs) have the responsibility to maintain the security (security patch, fix) on those resources.
