Securing MarkLogic Server

Granular Privileges

Granular privileges extend MarkLogic Server security model by allowing finer granularity access control over configuration and various administration abilities. Granular privileges is a subtype of execute privileges type. These are the purposes of granular privileges:

  • Allow different applications to coexist in a single cluster, with some users having authority over some parts of the cluster and other users having authority over other parts of the cluster.

  • Support separation of concerns between different administrative users, constraining control to just the layers they are concerned with.

This section describes granular privileges.
