Acquia Edge Standard supports Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Use this feature to control who can explore and manage your edge configuration and traffic data. RBAC in Acquia Edge Standard enables you to grant only the access that users must have to perform their jobs while separating read-only access from configuration access. Roles assigned to users manage access to Acquia Edge Standard, and each role provides a defined level of access in the Edge console. This method allows you to delegate day-to-day management of Edge Standard without sharing full administrative control.

Edge Standard roles

Acquia Edge Standard defines three primary roles:

Edge administrator

The Edge Administrator role is for users responsible for the overall configuration and governance of Edge Standard. Users with this role can:

1. Access all pages and features in the Edge console.
2. Read through configuration, logs, metrics, and other Edge data.
3. Create, edit, and delete Edge configuration.
4. Manage who has access to Edge Standard by inviting or removing users.

Use this role sparingly. Assign it only to users who must have full control over your Edge setup.

Edge manager

The Edge Manager role is for day‑to‑day operational owners of Edge Standard. Users with this role can:

1. Log in to the Edge console.
2. Access configuration, metrics, and traffic data.
3. Create, edit, and delete Edge configuration as permitted by your organization.

Unlike Edge Administrators, Edge Managers focus on operating and maintaining the configuration. They do not control overall access for your organization.

Edge viewer

The Edge Viewer role is for users who must have visibility into Edge behavior but must not change configuration. Users with this role can:

1. Log in to the Edge console.
2. Read through Edge Standard configuration and traffic data.
3. Access dashboards, metrics, and other read‑only information.
