Implement roles like Viewer, Editor, Admin

[nareshntr]

Currently, we don’t have a feature to assign specific roles to users. I don’t want other team members to be able to edit or modify any settings, so please provide the feasibility to assign specific roles to users. This will allow us to share only the Viewer role with certain team members.

Hey @nareshntr ,

Thanks for opening an issue!

Currently, you can invite users to your org and give them a group. Users in the ReadOnly group will have limited access to editing settings. Does this help resolve your scenario?

We have plans to improve this system in the future.

Hi @brandon-pereira

Thanks for the reply.

I don’t see the “Select a group” option. I’m currently using the Docker setup with version v2.7.1.

When inviting users, I only see the options shown in the attached screenshot — there are no groups visible to assign from this screen.

Hi @nareshntr, I am very sorry, I misspoke earlier — this feature is only available in our Enterprise Edition.

We appreciate you raising this issue, but unfortunately we won’t be implementing this feature in the open-source version since it overlaps with functionality we reserve for our commercial enterprise offering.

While we aim to keep as much as possible open source, certain features that are primarily relevant to enterprises (like SSO/SAML, RBAC, etc.) are kept separate to help ensure the long-term sustainability of the project.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out for future contributions if you’d like clarification on our development roadmap or the types of features we can accept.

Hi @brandon-pereira

Thanks for the clarification.

To make it easier to share HyperDX with other teams, it would be helpful if newly invited users were assigned read-only (viewer) access by default. This way, whenever we invite someone, they automatically receive the viewer role.
