Workbench Roles and Permissions

List of Roles and Permissions used in the Policy Workbench.

Roles are templates that include permissions and users can be assigned to one or more roles. All users in the appliance must be associated with a role.

The roles packaged with Policy Workbench are as follows:

RolesDescriptionPermissions
workbench_administratorFull administrative access to workbench.workbench_management_policy_write, workbench_deployment_immutablepackage_export, workbench_deployment_certificate_export
workbench_viewerRead-only access to workbench.workbench_management_policy_read
workbench_deployment_administratorAdministrative access to workbench deployments.workbench_deployment_immutablepackage_export, workbench_deployment_certificate_export

The capabilities of a role are defined by the permissions attached to the role. Though roles can be created, modified, or deleted from the appliance, permissions cannot be edited. The permissions that are available to map with a user and packaged with Policy Workbench as default permissions are as follows:

PermissionsDescription
workbench_management_policy_writeAllows management of policies and configurations.
workbench_management_policy_readAllows viewing of policies and configurations.
workbench_deployment_immutablepackage_exportAllows exporting encrypted resilient packages.
workbench_deployment_certificate_exportAllows exporting certificates used by protectors for dynamic resilient packages.
