Create access roles

Roles are a vital part of Access control. Roles provide users with access to specific, role-based metrics.

To create access roles in PMM, do the following:

1. From the main menu, go to PMM Configuration > Settings > Advanced Settings and enable the Access Roles option.

2. Go to Administration > Users and access > Access Roles.

   

3. Click Create.

4. On the Create role page, enter the Role name and Role description.

5. Select the following from the drop-downs for metrics access:

   • Label
   • Operator
   • Value of the label

   If you want to add more than one label for a role, click + and select the values from the drop-down.

   For information on how the Prometheus selectors work, see Prometheus selectors.

6. Click Create role.

Note

To create roles, you must have admin privileges. For more information, see Manage users.
