Privileges¶
Introduction¶
The collector handles privileges through users special group membership.
A normal collector group contains:
nodes, through the team responsible property
application codes
users
A privilege group can only contain users.
Most actions in the collector are authorized through the combination of the following rules:
the user must be in the required privilege group
the user must be in a normal group common with the nodes and services affected by the action
