Role-based access control lets you restrict log access for specific users, and control tasks that these users can perform after they log in. You can associate or revoke roles with or from user login accounts. A user can see all the dashboards that they have access to, but the data in the dashboards and in Explore Logs is filtered based on the data sets that the user role has access to.
- Users
- You can control the access and actions of each user by granting or revoking roles to or from the login account of the user.
- Permissions
- Permissions and access levels are associated with roles, and control the allowed actions in vRealize Log Insight. Permissions apply to particular administrative or user tasks in vRealize Log Insight. The predefined roles in vRealize Log Insight have a fixed set of permissions. You can modify these permissions for all predefined roles except the Super Admin role. Additionally, you can also create custom roles and assign permissions with access levels according to your requirement. For example, you can grant the Management permission with Full Access to allow a user to view and modify the vRealize Log Insight administrative settings in the Management section.
