Roles

Role-based administration (RBA) lets you create administrative roles for users. With RBA, an administrator can allow Gaia users to access specified features by including those features in a role and assigning that role to users. Each role can include a combination of administrative (read/write) access to some features, monitoring (read‑only) access to other features, and no access to other features.

You can also specify which access mechanisms (Gaia Portal, or Gaia Clish) are available to the user.

Note - When users log in to the Gaia Portal, they see only those features to which they have read-only or read/write access. If they have read-only access to a feature, they can see the settings pages, but cannot change the settings.

Gaia includes these predefined roles:

Role	Description
adminRole	Gives the user read/write access to all features.
monitorRole	Gives the user read-only access to all features.

Notes:

You cannot delete or change the predefined roles.
Do not define a new user for external users.

An external user is one that is defined on an authentication server (such as RADIUS or TACACS), and not on the local Gaia system.
