Required Permissions
To add a permission to a custom role, you must also add its required permissions.
For example, to add a non-read permission for a resource type, you must also add the read permission for that resource type.
The following permissions are required for monitoring:read:
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
droplet:read |
View Droplets |
image:read |
View images |
Associated Permissions
Associated permissions are not required, but they support full functionality of the permission they’re associated with.
For example, to create a Droplet, you need droplet:create. To tag a Droplet during creation, you additionally need tag:create, so tag:create is listed as an associated permission for droplet:create.
The following permissions are associated with monitoring:read:
| Permission | Description |
|---|---|
database:read |
View Managed Databases |
app:read |
View App Platform apps |
kubernetes:read |
