Database Permissions

This page provides an overview of permissions for databases in Splunk AppDynamics.

You can set database permissions for custom roles from the Databases page in the Controller Tenant Administration UI. See Manage Custom Roles for Splunk AppDynamics.

  1. Navigate to Settings > Administration > Roles.
  2. Select a non-default role.
  3. Select the Databases tab.
  4. Mark the View check-box to view metrics associated with database collectors. You can also configure database collector permissions for custom roles.
For each custom role, you can select which databases the user can view, edit, or delete, and you can enable permissions globally to configure and create database collectors.

Global Permissions One apply to all databases and override custom permissions. To restrict permissions on certain databases, uncheck global permissions and check the appropriate permission on specific databases.

In this example, the MYSQL database Two, although unchecked, has view permission because the global view permission setting is overriding it.
