In Connectware, permission are specific access rights to resources. Permissions allow administrators to define who can access what resources and what actions they can perform. Each permission represents a specific access right to a resource, whether it is an MQTT topic or an HTTP endpoint, with clearly defined read and/or write capabilities.
Understanding permissions is crucial for:
Security: Implementing the principle of least privilege across your system.
Granularity: Defining access control at a highly detailed level when necessary.
Transparency: Clearly seeing who has access to specific resources.
Compliance: Meeting regulatory requirements for data access control.
You can manage permissions via .
The Permissions View provides a comprehensive overview of all permissions configured in your Connectware system. This centralized dashboard shows each permission's details, including:
The resource path it controls access to:
The type of permission (MQTT or HTTP)
The access level granted (read, write, or both)
Which users and roles have this permission assigned
This view is particularly valuable for auditing your system's security posture and for troubleshooting access issues that users might encounter.
To open the Permissions View, click User and click the Permissions tab.
While permissions cannot be edited directly from the Permissions View, you can access detailed information about any permission by clicking on it. This information is valuable for understanding exactly what access a permission grants and which users and roles are affected by it.
When you click on a permission in the Permissions View, the Permission Details dialog opens showing:
The permission's complete resource path
The permission type (MQTT or HTTP)
The access level (read, write, or both)
All users who have this permission directly assigned
All roles that include this permission
