Chapter 1. Remediations overview

Understand how the role-based access control (RBAC) User Access feature of the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console manages user permissions through roles instead of individual user assignments. User Access simplifies permission management by assigning specific permissions to roles, which can then be assigned to user groups.

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.

Understand the two predefined groups available in User Access: Default access and Default admin access. Create custom groups to align permissions with specific personas, job functions, or teams in your organization.

The Default admin access group includes many (but not all) predefined roles that provide update and delete permissions. The roles in this group usually include administrator in their names.

Understand how predefined roles in Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console bundle permissions across multiple Red Hat Lightspeed applications to align with common user personas. Use predefined roles to reduce administrative effort, or create custom roles for more fine-tuned control over specific features.

The predefined roles are a starting point to help you to control and manage user permissions. You can then use these roles to create custom roles that are tailored to your specific use cases and organization. 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.

Verify your current permissions and the roles or groups assigned to you in the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console. Check your permissions to troubleshoot access issues or understand your level of access to Red Hat Lightspeed applications.

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 user permissions for all users in your organization. Control access to Red Hat Lightspeed and other Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console services through the User Access interface.

Understand the predefined roles that control permissions to view, create, and execute remediation plans on your RHEL systems. Use these role definitions to assign appropriate permissions to users based on their responsibilities.

To remediate issues on your RHEL systems, become familiar with the roles that provide the required access permissions for creating, managing, and executing remediation plans in Red Hat Lightspeed.

The following User Access roles provide standard or enhanced access to remediation features in Red Hat Lightspeed:

The Remediations user role enables standard or enhanced access to remediations features in Red Hat Lightspeed. The Remediations user role is included in the Default access group and permits access to view existing remediation plans and to create new plans. Remediations users cannot execute remediation plans on systems.
