Groups and Permissions

What are Permissions

The Permissions within Rocketadmin define the specific actions that individual users belonging to user groups are allowed to perform or are restricted from executing on database connections and tables.

When you add a Rocketadmin connection, an Admin user group with full rights and permissions is generated and assigned to the connection. Your account as creator is automatically added to this user group.

note

You are permitted to review the preset options of your Admin groups, but you are not allowed to make any modifications. If you need to provide users with limited rights, you can effortlessly set up a new user group and define specific privileges.
