Is this cool looking design be also available from the user portal?
custom properties aren't available in the user portal.
If so how do you prevent any user that just have permission to Edit
VMs to do damage? With custom property you can do almost anything.
Consider the case where there is a hook that allows to directly
attach a LUN/Add Tap/more destructive options. It is intended for
use of the sys admins but any user can use.
You would say correctly that this was always the case. But with the
old textbox interface the user would need to know that the option
exists. Now we actually tell him what he can use.
Cool for the webadmin / kind'a dangerous from the user portal until
you get permissions per users feature for it.
The minimum that is needed is an option to disable this properties
tab in the user portal.
Better have MLA for using properties at all if per property can't be
accommodated.
