Role-based access control (RBAC) divides up the powers of the root and administrator users into more granular privileges and allows them to be assigned to specific roles. For example, data protection administrators can be assigned full access to SyncIQ configuration and control, but only read-only access to other cluster functionality. SyncIQ administrative access is assigned through the ISI_PRIV_SYNCIQ privilege. RBAC is fully integrated with the SyncIQ CLI, WebUI, and Platform API.
