Setting up permissions for Manta

This section talks about generating the client secret and ID and setting up account roles.

Important

You need to perform these tasks if you are using the token-based authentication.

Generating client ID and client secret

  1. Create a new client to access the Manta APIs. Login to the Manta Knowledge Base, and follow the Manta documentation for complete instructions.

  2. Note the value of the Client ID. You will use this for the --manta-client-id parameter for the collector.

  3. Next, generate the Client Secret. Note the value of the Client Secret. You will use this value for the --manta-client-secret parameter for the collector.

Setting up account roles

  1. Navigate to Clients.

  2. Ensure that the following roles are set:

    • default-roles-manta

    • Configurator_READ

    • PROCESS_MANAGER_EXECUTE

    • PROCESS_MANAGER_READ

    • PROCESS_MANAGER_WRITE

  3. Alternatively, you can set the AdminGuiComposite role.
