RBAC Reference

RBAC policies are made up of three elements: actions, resources, and effect. Each API endpoint involves one or more actions and can be performed on specific resources.

For example, the GET /agents endpoint is used to obtain the information of one or all agents. This endpoint applies the action agent:read on the resource agent:id or agent:group. For example, agent:id:001 (agent 001) or agent:id:* (all agents). All the existing resources, available actions, and the endpoints affected by each one can be found on this reference page.

This reference also contains a set of default roles and policies that can be immediately used instead of having to create new ones.
