Create roles with database access only

Create roles with database access only.

Redis Enterprise Software

Roles with database access grant the ability to access and interact with a database's data. Database access privileges are determined by defining Redis ACLs and adding them to roles.

To create a role that grants database access without granting access to the Redis Enterprise Cluster Manager UI and REST API:

  1. Define Redis ACLs that determine database access privileges.

  2. Create a role with ACLs added and leave the Management role as None.

Define Redis ACLs

You can use the Cluster Manager UI or the REST API to define Redis ACL rules that you can assign to roles.

To define a Redis ACL rule using the Cluster Manager UI:

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

    • Select an existing Redis ACL from the list to edit it.

    • Click + 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.

  4. Click Save.

Note:
For multi-key commands on multi-slot keys, the return value is failure, but the command runs on the keys that are allowed.

Create roles with ACLs

To create a role that grants database access to users but blocks access to the Redis Enterprise Cluster Manager UI and REST API, set the Management role to None.

To define a role for database access using the Cluster Manager UI:
