A method comprises determining a set of one or more authorizations associated with a role of a user responsive to the user entering a command with a parameter, wherein the command with the parameter is to be implemented via a first virtual partition that is configured to control access to a plurality of virtual input/output (I/O) devices by a plurality of other virtual partitions. The first virtual partition and the plurality of other virtual partitions are instantiated on a same system. The method includes determining that the role is authorized to execute the command based on the set of one or more authorizations. The method also includes determining that the role is authorized to execute the command with the parameter responsive to determining that the role is authorized to perform the command. The method includes executing the command with the parameter via the virtual partition.
