Manage accounts and role assignments for the dashboard. Visible to admin users only.

User ManagementUser Management

What You Can Do​

  • Create users with username, password, and one of admin / operator / viewer
  • Reset a user's password without disabling their account
  • Disable / Enable an account (preserves all audit log entries)
  • Delete an account (audit log entries are retained but de-linked from the active account)

Roles​

RolePermissions
adminFull access — user management, power control, all configuration changes
operatorRead + write (container actions, software install, switch config)
viewerRead-only access to all monitoring data

The role gates API endpoints as well as UI sections — a viewer calling PUT /switches/.../interfaces/... over the REST API gets an HTTP 403, exactly as if they clicked the disabled button.

Best Practices​

  • Disable the default admin user once you have a named admin account.
  • Use operator for daily-driver accounts; reserve admin for break-glass.
  • The Audit Log (Maintenance → Audit Log) records every privileged action with the actor's username — meaningful only if your operators have individual accounts.
