A lot of users are asking for a role in checkmk which is using by the agent updater and only for the registration process. At the moment, there is no build in role. Please follow this short how-to if you want to have this kind of role

...

1. Pretty print the configuration for a better overview: Pretty-print the configuration files

2. Add the following section to the config file: ~/etc/check_mk/multisite.d/wato/roles.mk
   

   Code Block
   'agent': {'alias': 'agents registration and download', 'basedon': None, 'builtin': True, 'permissions': {'general.use': True, 'wato.download_all_agents': True}}})

   
   

3. Now we build a new role, only to register the Checkmk Agent with two roles! The whole config file should look like this:
   

   Code Block

   # Written by Checkmk store roles.update({'admin': {'alias': 'Administrator', 'builtin': True, 'permissions': {}}, 'admin': {'alias': 'Administrator', 'basedon': 'admin', 'builtin': False, 'permissions': {}}, 'guest': {'alias': 'Guest user', 'builtin': True, 'permissions': {}}, 'user': {'alias': 'Normal monitoring user', 'builtin': True, 'permissions': {}}, 'agent': {'alias': 'agents registration and download', 'basedon': None, 'builtin': True, 'permissions': {'general.see_all': True, 'general.use': True, 'wato.download_all_agents': True}}}) ~

   
   

Or you can create a copy of the guest user and give him ensure he has the following permissions:

• "Use the GUI at all"

...

• "Register Host & download monitoring agents of your hosts",

...

• "Register all hosts & download all monitoring agents"
