Authorization¶

In the Solution Manager installation, an administrator can control what privileges a role has over a specific environment. Grant to a role the MONITOR privilege over an environment, and all the users with that role will be allowed to:

• See the environment, its clusters and its servers in the catalog of the Diagnostic & Monitoring Tool.

• Monitor the environment, its clusters and its server.

• Create diagnostics under any server.

• Launch the Diagnostic & Monitoring Tool from My Applications, when the user selects the environment.

In the Denodo Platform installation, there are different requirements:

• The catalog is private to the user. Once you logged in, you are allowed to create environments and servers, but they will not be shared with anyone else.

• To monitor environments or servers you need to configure the servers with the credentials of:

  • an administrator, or

  • a user with the monitor_admin role.

• The first diagnostic initializes the diagnostics metadata in Virtual DataPort. It has to be created with:

  • an administrator, or

  • a user with the serveradmin role.

• Once Virtual DataPort is initialized with the diagnostics metadata, you only need the diagnostic_monitoring_tool_create_diagnostic role to create a new diagnostic.

In addition, for both installations, you need to have the diagnostic_monitoring_tool_admin role to be able to change the server configuration of the Diagnostic & Monitoring Tool.
