Getting started with Red Hat Lightspeed with FedRAMP

To install Red Hat Lightspeed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux hosts managed by Red Hat Satellite, see:

Before you can use Red Hat Lightspeed with your server, you need to connect your servers to the Satellite Server. The Satellite Server enables your servers to communicate with Red Hat Lightspeed.

An IP address-based allow list restricts network access to the Red Hat Lightspeed service. This ensures that only the servers and ports that you specify can connect to the Satellite Server.

Before you can connect Red Hat Lightspeed to your Satellite servers, you need to configure an allowlist that contains a trusted IP address (or range of IP addresses). You can configure the allowlist in two ways:

The User Access feature is based on managing roles, rather than on individually assigning permissions to specific users. In User Access, each role has a specific set of permissions. For example, a role might allow read permission for an application. Another role might allow write permission for an application.

You can also create custom groups and roles to provide more fine-tuned control over specific features of Red Hat Lightspeed to suit the needs of your organization.

If you are an Organization Administrator, you can use the User Access feature under Identity & Access Management in the Hybrid Cloud Console to:

All users on your account have access to most of the data in Red Hat Lightspeed.

To make groups and roles easier to manage, the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console provides two predefined groups: Default access and Default admin access. You can also create your own custom groups to align with specific personas, job functions, or teams in your organization.

The Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console provides predefined roles that bundle permissions across multiple Red Hat Lightspeed applications to align with common user personas. Use the predefined roles if you want to reduce the administrative effort required to manage user permissions, and your use case aligns with the permissions included in these roles.

If you want to have more control over specific features of Red Hat Lightspeed and your use case does not align with the permissions included in the predefined roles, you can create custom roles.

You can also use the predefined roles as a starting point to create custom roles that are tailored to your specific use case. For example, you can use the predefined granular roles to create custom roles that provide more fine-tuned control over specific features of Red Hat Lightspeed.

If you try to access Red Hat Lightspeed applications in the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console and see a message stating you do not have permission, you can verify your current permissions and the roles or groups you are assigned to.

You can also filter your permissions by application, for example, by advisor, cost management, inventory, and remediations.

If you are an Organization Administrator, you can view and manage the permissions of all users in your organization to Red Hat Lightspeed and other Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console services in the User Access section of the Identity & Access Management feature in the Hybrid Cloud Console.
