The Cribl Suite provides a range of access-management features for users with different security requirements. Access management serves these common enterprise goals:

• Security: Limit the blast radius of inadvertent or intentional errors by restricting each user’s actions to their needed scope within the application.
• Accountability: Ensure compliance by restricting read and write access to sensitive data.
• Operational efficiency: Match enterprise workflows by delegating access over subsets of objects/resources to appropriate users and teams.

This section includes the following topics:

• Authentication via local basic auth or external options such as Splunk, LDAP, and PIV.

• Access control using Cribl’s Permissions model or legacy Roles and Policies model.

• Service accounts that perform administrative and automated tasks securely and efficiently.

• Single sign-on (SSO), which allows you to manage access to Cribl by using an external identity provider (IdP).
