Many advantages to migrating different applications to cloud computing. These include a reduction of cost, scalability of resources, reduction of business risks, and elimination of large number of Information Technology (IT) staff for management and administration. However, the main problem in cloud environment is still lack of standard approaches to identify cloud stakeholder's roles. In this paper, we comprehensively study, identify, and classify multiple stakeholders' roles of various types of reference architectures proposed in cloud computing domain.
