“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. It has the responsability to do VMs and volume data backup also. Anyway, from the project management perspective, CINECA will interact only to “User Admins" (User Admins are user associated to the project in CINECA resource provising portal, https://userdb.hpc.cineca.it).
