Authentication
ADOC enforces platform-wide access control using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). This ensures that users can only access features they are explicitly permitted to use. Permissions are controlled through roles, which are assigned at both application and feature levels.
RBAC in ADOC applies to both the Admin Central and Data Observability applications, each of which includes its own set of features and supported roles.
ADOC Applications
There are two core applications in ADOC where roles apply independently:
Admin Central
- Focuses on administrative and configuration functions.
- Accessible via the (settings) icon.
- Used to manage users, roles, authentication, and other platform-wide configurations.
Data Observability
- Contains all observability features—pipelines, alerts, reliability tools, policies, and lineage.
- Where most day-to-day monitoring and management activities take place.
Role Types by Application
Each application supports a different set of roles:
- Admin Central Roles
- Data Observability Roles
Users may be assigned different roles for each application independently.
Features, Categories & Permissions
Features are grouped into functional categories, such as:
- Administration
- Alerts
- Compute
- Reliability
- General
- Pipeline
Each feature can have one or more of the following permission levels:
- Create – Users can add new entities (e.g., a new asset, pipeline, or user).
- Modify – Users can update existing items.
- View – Users can only see the feature and its contents but cannot change anything.
Viewing User Roles
To check the roles assigned to a user:
- Navigate to User Management. Click on a specific user to open their Detail View.
- You’ll see their assigned roles for both Admin Central and Data Observability.
- Roles can be directly edited here by platform admins.
