About user access roles

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

DataStax Enterprise customers have the ability to define custom, fine-grained access roles for these users. OpsCenter can be configured to require users to log in.

Note: If your organization is using DataStax Community, all users who log in to OpsCenter have admin rights.

Admin role privileges 

The admin role is built-in to OpsCenter and cannot be edited or removed. By default, the admin role 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 the user-defined roles are per cluster. Any functionality in OpsCenter that the user does not have permission for appear disabled when that user is logged in.

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