Access control policies

Edge Flow Manager uses role based access control at the agent class level. This means that everything in Edge Flow Manager is tied to agent classes. On top of restricting access to specific endpoints and functionality, all data returned by Edge Flow Manager is also filtered based on the agent classes the given user has access to. All entities, such as flows, events, and parameters are mapped to agent classes by Edge Flow Manager so access can be determined based on that.

Edge Flow Manager recognizes agent class viewer, designer, and operator roles along with the global administrator role. For more information, see Policies for agent class roles.
