Nitro Application User Management

To access Nitro quicker and more easily, admins can create a Nitro Application User that allows users to log in once to access all the Nitro applications, for example, Nitro Admin Console and Nitro databases (Redshift) for which they have permissions.

• Admins can manage access to Nitro applications for a user by assigning it to an application role
• Admins can create, enable, disable, edit, and view users in the NAC

The following application roles are available:

Role	Application	Scope	Description
System Admin	Nitro Admin Console	Cluster	Create and edit  connectors, jobs, schedules, file triggers, job orchestrations, and users.
Data Admin	Nitro Admin Console	Cluster	Create and edit connectors, jobs, schedules, file triggers, and job orchestrations. This role does not allow creating or editing users.
Viewer	Nitro Admin Console	Cluster	View the connectors, jobs, schedules, file triggers, job orchestrations and users.
Data Admin	Nitro Admin Console	Instance	Only applicable when the viewer role for the cluster is selected. User is a viewer but in the selected instances, they can also create and edit connectors, jobs, schedules, file triggers, and job orchestrations.
Data Admin	Nitro DB	Instance	Read all tables and execute SQL commands such as create, insert, update, and delete to all tables except tables under the ODS schema.
Data Viewer	Nitro DB	Instance	Read all tables.
BI Access	Nitro DB	Instance	Read tables under report current, report history, and DDS.
FTP Access	FTP	Instance	Access folders under a selected FTP instance.
