About user access roles

OpsCenter provides the ability to define custom, fine-grained access roles.

OpsCenter can be configured to require users to login. DataStax Enterprise customers have the ability to define custom, fine-grained access roles for these users. If you are using DataStax Community, all users that login to OpsCenter will have admin rights.

Admin role privileges 

The admin role is built-in to OpsCenter, and cannot be edited or removed. By default, it is the only role created when authentication is enabled. Only users with the admin role can manage users and roles, create new clusters, or manually update definition files.

User-defined role privileges 

User-defined roles can only be defined by admin users. The permissions of these roles are per-cluster. Any functionality in OpsCenter that the user doesn't have permission for will appear disabled when that user is logged in.

Creating a new cluster does not automatically add permissions to any existing user-defined roles.
