1 Overview

Applications are used to grant permissions to a group of users to nodes, dashboards, actions, policies and events within your organisation. Once you have added the servers and users to an application, simply assign roles to the users and let them do the rest. The application roles give your users permissions to do various things such as configuring and deploying monitoring, running actions on servers, viewing events and more.


2 Application roles

The role(s) that you have in an application determines the things that you are able to do within it. Everyone is able to see all events, users and nodes that are in it. Beyond this your role determines what you are able to do. There are five default roles available within an application with any additional number able to be user created.
