Security Roles

Overview​

Security roles in Qalyptus Server implement role-based access control (RBAC) to manage user permissions and access levels throughout the system. When you add users to Qalyptus Server, you must assign roles that define their maximum access level and determine what actions they can perform on projects, tasks, and administrative functions.

Default Security Roles​

Qalyptus Server includes six default roles that cannot be modified or deleted:

  • Administrators: Full system access including user management, system configuration, and all content operations
  • Developers: Access to create, edit, and manage reports, connections, and tasks within assigned projects
  • Users: Read-only access to view and consume reports within assigned projects
  • Qalyptus Notify: Necessary permissions to use the "Qalyptus Notify" extension
  • Qalyptus On-Demand: Necessary permissions to use the "Qalyptus On-Demand" extension
  • Qalyptus Self-Reporting: Necessary permissions to use the "Qalyptus Self-Reporting" extension
Role-Based Permissions

Roles define the maximum level of access a user can have. Users can be assigned multiple roles, and their effective permissions are the union of all assigned role permissions.
