Summary
Role Based Access Control (RBAC) feature was introduced in IBM Operations Analytics – Log Analysis 1.3.1 to meet the needs of multiple enterprise customers. The feature was implemented with read permissions on data source artifacts and is used to control access to saved searches, dashboards and charts.
In Log Analysis, user authentication is set up using the user registry running on WebSphere Liberty (Liberty) or the LDAP server configured with Liberty. Once the user is authenticated, access to the search or admin page is controlled by mapping user groups to Log Analysis security roles (UnityUser, UnityAdmin). These are defined in the server.xml and unityConfig.xml files. Beyond access to the page, the objects displayed on the page are controlled by the roles and permissions assigned to users.
Log Analysis, when installed, configures the administrative user unityadmin with special privileges and access to all data in the system. One default role unityusers is also created and all users by default are given membership to this role.
