Users and Roles

These commands require admin privileges on the Parseable server.

Parseable uses role-based access control. In practice, that means you define roles first, then assign those roles to users.

Roles

pb role add <name>

This opens an interactive prompt where you choose the privilege level and the dataset scope.

Privilege levels:

Privilege	Access
`none`	No server privileges
`admin`	Full system-wide access
`editor`	Read and write access across datasets
`reader`	Read-only access to a specific dataset
`writer`	Read and write access to a specific dataset
`ingestor`	Write-only (ingest) access to a specific dataset

pb role add log-readers

pb role list

pb role list --output json

pb role remove <name>
pb role rm <name>

pb user add <username>

The server generates a password and prints it once. Keep it somewhere safe because it cannot be retrieved later.

Assign roles at creation time:

pb user add bob --role log-readers,developers

pb user list

pb user list --output json

pb user set-role <username> <roles>

pb user set-role bob log-readers,admins

pb user remove <username>
pb user rm <username>

Roles must exist before they can be assigned to a user. Create roles with pb role add first.
