RBAC Role: Statistics Only User

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      As part of the wider MB-23110 Separation of Duties discussion, it would be ideal to get a RBAC role created that only allows the user to access statistics with cbstats and other supported interfaces, but is targeted towards monitoring and scripting access, rather than a human agent.

      This user should not be able to view bucket data or change cluster settings.
      Ideally, this user should not be able to log in to the UI.

      Currently a read-only administrator can be used, however this allows seeing data at this time and possibly going forward "an administrator" and "a monitoring system" will become more distinct.

      A move to separation of duties in this regard with a well labelled "Statistics Only" user would be clearer on the part of a user choosing between RBAC roles for their need, even if the role privileges largely overlap initially.
