Lucidity's RBAC feature provides a secure and efficient way to manage user permissions within your organization. With RBAC, you can control who has access to specific resources and what actions they can perform within the Lucidity platform.
Getting Started
Before using RBAC, ensure that you have administrative access to the Lucidity dashboard.
Understanding User Roles in Lucidity
Lucidity provides a robust Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system to ensure users have access to the necessary features and data within the platform. Each role has a specific set of permissions that dictate what actions a user can perform. Here's a detailed look at the three primary roles available in Lucidity:
Viewer Role
Description
The Viewer role is designed for users who require read-only access to the platform's data and metrics. This role is ideal for team members who need to monitor and report on the system's status but do not need to make any changes.
Permissions
View Metrics: Users can see all metrics, savings, and other relevant data displayed on the dashboard.
Limitations
No Operational Control: Viewers cannot onboard or deboard volumes, meaning they cannot add or remove volume resources.
No Policy Assignment: They are not permitted to assign or modify any customizable policies within the platform.
No Account Management: Viewers cannot add new accounts or make changes to existing account configurations.
Volume Manager Role
Description
The Volume Manager role is suited for users who manage the operational aspects of volume resources. They have the permissions necessary to perform actions that directly affect volume management.
Permissions
Operational Control: Volume Managers can onboard (add) and deboard (remove) volumes as required.
Manage Volumes: They can manage the volumes' lifecycle, ensuring that resources are optimized according to usage.
Limitations
No Policy Creation: While they can manage volumes, they cannot create new policies.
No Account Management: They are not authorized to add new accounts or manage user roles.
Admin Role
Description
The Admin role is the highest level of access within Lucidity. There can only be one Admin per account, and this role has full control over the platform.
Permissions
Full Access: The Admin can perform all actions within the platform, including adding and deboarding volumes.
User Management: Admins can invite new users, deactivate users, and assign roles to them.
Policy and Account Management: They can assign policies, add new accounts, and configure the platform to fit the organization's needs.
