The Bare Metal Orchestrator web UI is a unified web interface that enables you to provision, manage, and monitor your infrastructure.
The role assigned to a user determines the operations that they can perform on the system. In other words, the web UI displays only the functionality and UI elements (menus, pages, and so on) that a user is allowed to access.
The following figure shows the Bare Metal Orchestrator console:
