Abstract
A disclosed method for managing access to cloud infrastructure include responding to receiving a user request to access a cloud resource, such as a cluster associated with a hyper-converged infrastructure appliance, associated with an entity by performing a layered authentication of the user. The layered authentication includes determining first layer privileges based on first user credentials associated with a first authentication module and determining second layer privileges based on second user credentials associated with a second authentication module. The request is granted or denied based on a combination of the user's first and second layer privileges. The first authentication module may be associated with a first authentication domain such as an authentication domain of a cloud service provider or an OEM of cloud infrastructure resources. The second authentication module may comprise an authentication module maintained by the entity associated with the resource targeted by the user request.
