Role-Based Access model
Netdata Cloud's role-based-access mechanism allows you to control what functionalities in the app users can access. Each user can be assigned only one role, which fully specifies all the capabilities they are afforded.
What roles are available?
With the advent of the paid plans we revamped the roles to cover needs expressed by Netdata users, like providing more limited access to their customers, or being able to join any Room. We also aligned the offered roles to the target audience of each plan. The end result is the following:
| Role | Community | Homelab | Business | Enterprise On-Premise |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Admins Users with this role can control Spaces, Rooms, Nodes, Users and Billing. They can also access any Room in the Space. |
✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ |
| Managers Users with this role can manage Rooms and Users. They can access any Room in the Space. |
- | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ |
| Troubleshooters Users with this role can use Netdata to troubleshoot, not manage entities. They need to be assigned to Rooms in the Space. |
- | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ |
| Observers Users with this role can only view data in specific Rooms. 💡 Ideal for restricting your customer's access to their own dedicated rooms. |
- | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ |
| Billing Users with this role can handle billing options and invoices. |
- | ✔️ | ✔️ | ✔️ |
| Member ⚠️ Legacy role Users with this role you can create Rooms and invite other Members. They can only see the Rooms they belong to and all Nodes in the All Nodes Room. |
