Create roles with combined access

Create roles with both cluster and database access.

To create a role that grants database access privileges and allows access to the Cluster Management UI and REST API:

1. Define Redis ACLs that determine database access privileges.

2. Create a role with ACLs added and choose a Cluster management role other than None.

Define Redis ACLs

To define a Redis ACL rule that you can assign to a role:

1. From Access Control > Redis ACLs, you can either:

   • Point to a Redis ACL and select to edit an existing Redis ACL.

   • Select + Add Redis ACL to create a new Redis ACL.

2. Enter a descriptive name for the Redis ACL. This will be used to associate the ACL rule with the role.

3. Define the ACL rule. For more information about Redis ACL rules and syntax, see the Redis ACL overview.

   Note:

   The ACL builder does not support selectors and key permissions. Use Free text command to manually define them instead.

4. Select Save.
