Manage Roles

A user is added to a user group for which one or many roles are assigned. Roles are used to configure the level of permissions to the CLI and the set of features to which a user has access.

CLI Permissions Reference

Permission	Options	Description
Console Shell Access Level	Admin | Standard | Disabled	Ability to connect to nodes' command lines via Lighthouse's SSH. Standard allows access the node’s console with the same username as the Lighthouse user, if the user has an existing user account of the same name on the node. The user will be asked for the password of their account on the node whilst connecting. Admin will access the node’s console as the node’s root user.
