Setting Up Reservation Manager › Post-Installation Configuration › Customize the Home Page

Customize the Home Page

By default, end users have access to the following links on the Reservation Manager home page:

• Reserve a system
• Create a virtual machine
• Create a virtual machine in the Amazon Cloud
• View reservation templates
• View system inventory
• View your reservations

Administrators can customize the options that users can see on this page by removing access to any of these links. For example, you want your users to create only reservation requests based on public templates that you define. In this case, you could eliminate the Reserve a system, Create a virtual machine, and View system inventory links from the home page.

Note: You cannot make the Administer your Reservation Manager link available to end users. This link only appears for administrator users.
