About Security Roles

A user belongs to zero or more Groups, and a Group is assigned to zero or more Roles. Roles are immutable. You cannot create, edit, or delete a Role. Groups, Security Roles, and Users are managed in the Security Manager.

Security Model

Incorta's security model is optimistic, meaning that Incorta enforces the least restrictive role permissions and access rights. All users inherit the User role. A tenant administrator inherits the SuperRole by default. There is no direct way to assign a role to user. Instead, you can assign one or more Roles to a Group. A Group is a collection of zero or more users. You assign a user to one or more groups.

Role Based Access Control

Role Based Access Control (RBAC) enforces access to certain features and functionality within the Incorta Analytics Services. The Incorta Loader Services is not accessible. The Incorta Cluster Management console is a separate web interface, and is enabled for a single administrator user.

There is no direct way to assign a Role to a user, with two exceptions:

All users inherit the User role
A tenant administrator inherits the SuperRole role unless otherwise configured for the tenant

Role Permissions

There are four levels of permissions a Role might have for different content uses of Incorta. In descending order a Role can: Manage, Share, View, or have no permissions. Having a higher level of permission access grants the permission of the lower levels.
