The admin user in our virtual appliance environment has the admin role on every project in the environment. Because we are logged in with a user who has the admin role, the Horizon dashboard exposes an Admin Panel Group, in addition to the Project Panel Group. Users who do not have the admin role will not see the admin panel group. See Figure 3.8.
Figure 3.8: By default, the Horizon dashboard admin panel group is only seen by users with the admin role
The admin panel group will allow the logged-in user to see all resources created in all projects across all domains. It's very important to not forget this when performing exam objectives. Some exam objectives may require access to the admin panel and we will explore this in upcoming chapters.
