Required Permissions

CommandCenter Secure Gateway supports Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), but the Web Services API documentation does not explicitly document which roles or permissions are required. The exact permission names should be confirmed with your Raritan administrator or Raritan support, as specific role requirements for the Web Services API are not detailed in the publicly available documentation. The adapter requires read access to device information via the getDevice API method.
