Roles

Roles are fundamental building blocks for managing access and permissions within your organization’s ScaleGrid environment.

What Are Roles? Roles are predefined sets of permissions that determine what actions a user can perform and which resources they can access. Instead of assigning permissions individually to each user, roles group related permissions into a single entity that can be assigned to multiple users.

What Are Roles Used For? Roles provide a simple, scalable way to control and restrict access to the ScaleGrid platform’s features and resources, such as clusters, services, backups, and more. They help enforce security policies and operational governance by defining who can view, modify, or manage specific resources.

Key Benefits of Using Roles:

• Centralized Access Control: Easily assign and update permissions for multiple users by managing roles instead of individual user settings.
• Least Privilege Principle: Assign only the permissions needed for a user’s job, reducing security risks.
• Operational Efficiency: Simplify onboarding, offboarding, and permission changes by managing roles.
• Security and Compliance: Enforce strict access policies, audit who has access to what, and ensure compliance with organizational standards.

By defining and assigning roles thoughtfully, you maintain secure, manageable, and transparent control over your platform access.
