RBAC Configuration - Component Name¶

Overview¶

This document outlines the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) configuration within the component service, including internal roles, permissions, and how they map to platform-wide user roles.

Component Internal Roles¶

Service Roles¶

admin: Full administrative access to component functions
operator: Operational access for day-to-day management
viewer: Read-only access to component data and metrics
api-user: Programmatic API access with limited permissions

Platform Role Mapping¶

Human User Roles → Component Roles¶

Platform Role	Component Role	Access Pattern	Use Cases
Cluster Admin	admin	Web UI + API	Emergency access, initial setup
Platform Operator	operator	Web UI + CLI	Day-to-day operations, troubleshooting
DevOps Engineer	operator	Web UI + API	Application deployment, monitoring
Developer	viewer	Web UI + API	Application monitoring, debugging
Monitoring System	api-user	API only	Automated metrics collection
Backup Service	api-user	API only	Data export/backup operations
