Default roles

The following describes the built-in roles:

Role

Description

None

Users have no access to Swarm or Kubernetes resources. Maps to No Access role in UCP 2.1.x.

View Only

Users can view resources but cannot create them.

Restricted Control

Users can view and edit resources but cannot run a service or container in a way that affects the node where it is running. Users cannot mount a node directory, exec into containers, or run containers in privileged mode or with additional kernel capabilities.

Scheduler

Users can view worker and manager nodes and schedule, but not view, workloads on these nodes. By default, all users are granted the Scheduler role for the Shared collection. To view workloads, users need Container View permissions.

Full Control

Users can view and edit all granted resources. They can create containers without any restriction, but cannot see the containers of other users.
