Roles
The permission system in DataForge is based on manager and user roles. DataForge offers default and custom roles defined by a ACL rule set.
As the names of the two categories imply, the types of roles are used for the different areas of DataForge:
- Manager roles for DataForge managers
- User roles for DataForge users
DataForge offers default and customizable user roles based on ACL rules. These roles are defined for each DataForge section, including: Zabbix client, Administration, Reporting, and Self provisioning. With these roles, permissions can be precisely set to control a user’s access to different sections and functionalities within those sections. User roles in DataForge can be mapped to Zabbix user roles upon import or can be configured manually for each user. For more information on Zabbix roles, please refer to the Zabbix documentation about User Roles .
Manager default roles
Manager roles are configured and used by DataForge managers. These roles can not be used for DataForge users.
