Set User Privileges for Monitoring Service

Users need appropriate privileges to access, create, and modify Monitoring Service. Without necessary privileges, users have a read-only access and cannot provision changes. You can grant appropriate privileges via the User Manager.

Warning: User privileges set using the IONOS CLOUD API or the DCD apply to pipeline access only, not to Grafana access.

To allow users to access, create, and modify the Monitoring Service, follow these steps:

1. In the DCD, go to Menu > Management > Users & Groups.

2. Select the Groups tab in the User Manager window.

3. Select the appropriate group to assign relevant privileges.

4. In the Privileges tab, select Access and manage Monitoring to allow the associated group members to access and manage Monitoring Service.

Note: You can remove the privileges from the group by clearing Access and manage Monitoring.

Result: Appropriate privilege is granted to the group and the users in the respective group.

Create and manage sub-users

For improved user management and delegation, you can establish sub-users and grant them the necessary permissions to use the Logging Service. Sub-users can only view and manage the pipelines they have created themselves. They cannot access the primary account or pipelines belonging to other users.

To grant a sub-user access to all pipelines in the account, the primary account owner can assign them administrative privileges, though this provides account-wide access rather than pipeline-specific access.

To create sub-users, follow these steps:

1. In the DCD, go to Menu > Management > Users & Groups.

2. Select the Groups tab in the User Manager window.

3. Select the appropriate group to assign relevant privileges.

4. In the Members tab, click Add User and select one or more users from the list.

To delete an associated sub-user, click Remove User.
