To grant a user access to a Redis Enterprise cluster’s admin console and REST API, assign a predefined management role to the user.

Grant cluster management access

  1. Create a new user or edit an existing one.

  2. Assign the user a role associated with the appropriate cluster management role.

Default management roles

Redis Enterprise Software includes five predefined roles that determine a user’s level of access to the admin console and REST API.

  1. DB Viewer - Read database settings
  2. DB Member - Administer databases
  3. Cluster Viewer - Read cluster settings
  4. Cluster Member - Administer the cluster
  5. Admin - Full cluster access
  6. None - For data access only - cannot access the admin console or use the REST API

For more details about the privileges granted by each of these roles, see admin console permissions or REST API permissions.
