Providing read only access to production business hosts

Hi,

I want to restrict user for any modification in the business host settings while testing the production. How can I achieve the desire ?

Thanks

Product version: IRIS 2021.1

Giving them only the %EnsRole_Operator role will prevent them from making configuration changes to the production. And if they aren't assigned the database resource (%DB_<databasename>), they won't be able to start or stop the production either.

Thanks for the reply.

My Production is in USER namespace and by assigning only %EnsRole_Operator role User namespace is not visible. How to give access of USER namespace?

Hello Muhammad,

I would recommend reading this section of the documentation on Assets and Resources.

"Users and applications interact with InterSystems IRIS databases through namespaces. While there are no privileges associated with namespaces, access to a namespace is granted or denied based on the privileges associated with the underlying databases. More specifically, to access a namespace, you must hold the Read privilege on the default globals database associated with that namespace."
