MMAP Roles

The following table lists the roles that are defined in MMAP. Add these roles to your IDOL Community component, and then assign users (or existing roles) to the roles, to grant the corresponding privileges.

A user who is not assigned to any of these roles can successfully authenticate, but can not use the MMAP API.

NOTE: MMAP expects the role names in IDOL Community to have the prefix MMAP_. For example, if you use the default configuration, create roles in Community named MMAP_delete, MMAP_export, MMAP_modify, and so on.

You can modify or remove this prefix by changing the property named avalanche.vms.accessControl.rolePrefix in the MMAP configuration file avalanche.properties.

delete Users can delete items.
export Users can export data to another system such as IDOL Content.
modify Users can create or modify items.
read_archive Users can download all information about a source.
