    Abstract: An example method of accessing object data managed by virtual infrastructure (VI) services of virtualization management software that manages a cluster of hosts in a data center and a virtualization layer executing in the cluster of hosts includes: receiving, from a client at a unified data service executing in the virtualization management software, a request for accessing the object data; planning, in response to the request, an operation to access the object data that targets a first VI service of the VI services; invoking, in response to the operation, an application programming interface (API) of the first VI service to access the object data, the API being exposed by a unified data library integrated with the first VI service; and forwarding, from the unified data service to the client, a result of accessing the object data.

    Abstract: Techniques for providing hybrid access control in a cloud-services computing environment are provided. In one embodiment, a method for providing hybrid access control is provided at a host computing device. The method includes obtaining access control settings including at least a first user's role-based access settings with respect to a first sub-system of a hierarchical computing-resource system. The method further includes propagating the access control settings from the first sub-system to a second sub-system; obtaining user group domains assigned to a plurality of sub-systems; and obtaining a group membership associated with the first user. The method further includes determining, based on the obtained user group domains and the obtained group membership associated with the first user, whether the first user's role-based access settings propagated to the second sub-system are to be adjusted; and making adjustments accordingly.
