Permissions

To interact with the Bright Cluster Manager REST API (e.g., /rest/v1/device), the user account or certificate used for authentication must have sufficient privileges within the Bright Cluster Manager environment. Specifically, the account must have permissions to:

• Access CMDaemon’s REST interface.
• View cluster and node/device-level information such as hostname, IP, MAC address, network roles, and node type.
• If the account is restricted via Bright's internal role-based access or certificate-based access controls, API requests may:
  • Return only partial data (e.g., limited device fields) or
  • Be denied entirely.
