I did some testing last night (before seeing Nitin's response) and using the updateTemplatePermissions command could work for you but with caveats.
updateTemplatePermissions does the following (from API page) " Updates a template visibility permissions. A public template is visible to all accounts within the same domain. A private template is visible only to the owner of the template. A priviledged template is a private template with account permissions added. Only accounts specified under the template permissions are visible to them" Full details can be found here http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/api/apidocs-4.2/root_admin/updateTemplatePermissions.html The command assumes it is being run by an account within the same Domain as the target account so you cannot run it as Root. You would have to create an account within the domain you want to allocated the Template to, then import the Template, but do NOT make it Public. Then using the updateTemplatePermissions API call whilst authenticated as the account who imported the Template (suggest you use CloudMonkey for this) assign permissions to the other Accounts within the Domain. This does not filter down to Sub Domains, so you would need to repeat the process for every Domain. Suggest you log a feature request to get this enhanced to allow you to 'Specify the Domain ID' when assigning permissions. You could also log a 2nd Feature Request to 'Enable allocation of a Template to a Domain and optionally its Sub Domains' Regards Geoff Higginbottom D: +44 20 3603 0542 | S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M: +447968161581 [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Nitin Mehta [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 05 November 2013 18:17 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: domains/subdomains headaches I don¹t think CS has that functionality at the moment. I am guessing RBAC work might factor that. That said there is a workaround of adding the accounts you want the template to be visible through updateTemplatePermissions API. See that works for you Thanks, -Nitin On 05/11/13 8:41 AM, "Octavian Popescu" <[email protected]> wrote: >Thanks Geoff but it's still not working... > >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Geoff Higginbottom [mailto:[email protected]] >>Sent: 05 November 2013 17:31 >>To: [email protected] >>Subject: RE: domains/subdomains headaches >> >>Octavian, >> >>If I remember rightly, login as a Domain Admin for 'Base_Domain', and >>then publish the Template as a 'Featured' template, this should then >>be available to Sub-Domians >> >>Regards >> >>Geoff Higginbottom >> >>D: +44 20 3603 0542 | S: +44 20 3603 0540 | M: +447968161581 >> >>[email protected] >> >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Octavian Popescu [mailto:[email protected]] >>Sent: 05 November 2013 15:20 >>To: [email protected] >>Subject: domains/subdomains headaches >> >>Hi, >> >>Have a look at the following structure: >> >>BASE_DOMAIN >> \_ CHILD_1 >> \_ CHILD_2 >> >>Assuming I'm using an account created in BASE_DOMAIN, I'm trying to >>find a way to publish templates from that account so that they're also >>accessible to accounts created on the child subdomains - is there any >>way to do this and set up some sort of inheritance for the templates? >>The default behavior seems to be total isolation - if you create a >>template via an account from the BASE_DOMAIN, the subdomains are not >>able to access it (and the other way around, if you create it from an >>account in the child domains, the BASE_DOMAIN account is not able to >>access them) I don't want to declare the templates as public as >>everyone will be able to access them then. >> >>Thanks, >>Octavian >> >> >> >>This email and any attachments to it may be confidential and are >>intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed. >>Any views or opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do >>not necessarily represent those of Shape Blue Ltd or related >>companies.
