What are possible options for authentication.roles configuration in REST Proxy?

Clients REST Proxy

Hi,

Can I configure REST PROXY for read-only or write-only permissions with BASIC authentication?

I see authentication.roles configuration, what are the possible options to set it other than Admin ? OR RBAC is the only option to control the access?

Please help me out.

Thanks.

Hi @shubhamshirur

afaik this is only possibke with RBAC.
authentication.rolesdefines which user is allowed to login
