GigaSpaces Ops Manager Authorization

GigaSpaces provides role-based security that provides access based on the user's intended activity in the organization.

User Roles

InsightEdge Ops Manager provides advanced capabilities of services monitoring, data analysis, and connectivity to multiple data sources. These capabilities are divided into a list of screens and features with permissions for logging user roles:

  • Admin (superuser) – has access to all capabilities including features related to services orchestration that has high impact on the environment resources consumption (e.g. scale up/down of service partitions).
  • Manager – can deploy one or many services and connect with client applications and other components such as databases, Kafka, etc. A Manager will deploy services, will test them – function and performance - and analyze the data behavior within the Space.
  • Viewer – data expert with a goal to view, interact with and query the data.
