1. A method comprising: receiving, from a tenant by a cluster management proxy, a request to perform a cluster management operation of a cluster that is storing data from multiple tenants that include the tenant; determining whether the request is within a group of admissible cluster management requests for the cluster; in response to determining that the request is within the group, modifying, by the cluster management proxy, the request to restrict access of the cluster management operation based on an identity of the tenant; and accessing, by the cluster management proxy, the cluster based on the modified request that has restricted access of the cluster management operation; and in response to determining that the request is not within the group, tunneling the request to a Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) assigned to the tenant, wherein the SVM is configured to access the cluster based on the request.
