User types

The following user types are available in Kapacitor:

  • admin: Kapacitor user with full permissions.
  • normal: Kapacitor user with explicitly set permissions.

User permissions

The following user permissions are available in Kapacitor. Multiple permissions can be assigned to a single normal user.

  • none: Grant no permissions.
  • api: Grant permissions for CRUD actions through the Kapacitor API.
  • config_api: Grant permission to configure Kapacitor through the API.
  • write_points: Grant permission to write points to Kapacitor.
  • all: Grant all permissions.
