Re: Admin GUI roles?

Hi Sean,

Sorry to say that  Admin Console does not support  Role Based Access Control in both v2 and v3 preview.   To do that requires infrastructure improvements in the admin backend.   This is specified as CoreInfra-004 Feature in the V3 Core Infrastructure Improvements doc and logged as a feature #4361 in the issue tracker.
However, this admin feature doesn't seem to make it to the v3 final release in Sept.

thanks
Anissa.

Admin GUI roles? Is there any default support in the admin console webapp for RBAC style authentication?

That is, obviously the admin login can do anything it wants.

What I’m looking for is a way to create a “read only” login that can’t modify any glassfish settings, deploy apps, etc – does that exist?
