Subjects

StackState Self-hosted v5.0.x

This page describes StackState version 5.0.
Go to the documentation for the latest StackState release.
Link your existing authentication provider to StackState RBAC
StackState is configured by default with file based authentication with predefined roles for Guests (very limited permission level), Power Users and Administrators (full permission level). To change the configuration to use LDAP authentication, see authentication docs.
How to make a new user or group with scopes
To create a new subject (a group or a username), you must follow the stac CLI route below. When you create a subject, it has no permissions at first. All custom subjects need a scope by design, so they do not have access to the full topology. This is a security requirement that makes sure that users have access only to what they need.
Examples
Create the stackstate subject with a scope that allows the user to see all elements with the StackState label:
CLI: stac
CLI: sts (new)
stac subject save stackstate 'label = "StackState"'
⚠️ PLEASE NOTE - from StackState v5.0, the old sts CLI is called stac.
In a future release of StackState, the new sts CLI will fully replace the stac CLI. It is advised to install the new sts CLI and upgrade any installed instance of the old sts CLI to stac. For details see:
​Which version of the sts CLI am I running?​
​Install the new sts CLI and upgrade the old sts CLI to stac​
​Comparison between the CLIs​
Command not currently available in the new sts CLI. Use the stac CLI.
Give more context and specific limitations, create the subject stackstateManager with the same scope of the StackState label and additional access to Business Applications within that label:
CLI: stac
CLI: sts (new)
stac subject save stackstateManager 'label = "StackState" AND type = "Business Application"'
⚠️ PLEASE NOTE - from StackState v5.0, the old sts CLI is called stac.
In a future release of StackState, the new sts CLI will fully replace the stac CLI. It is advised to install the new sts CLI and upgrade any installed instance of the old sts CLI to stac. For details see:
​Which version of the sts CLI am I running?​
​Install the new sts CLI and upgrade the old sts CLI to stac​
​Comparison between the CLIs​
Command not currently available in the new sts CLI. Use the stac CLI.
NOTE:
When passing an STQL query in a stac CLI command, all operators ( such as =, <,AND, and so on) need to be surrounded by spaces, as in the above example.
For LDAP authentication, the subject name must exactly match the username or group name configured in LDAP (case-sensitive).
