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

Step-by-step guide

  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

    '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:

    # 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 the permissions "Use the GUI at all",  "Register Host & download monitoring agents of your hosts", "Register all hosts & download all monitoring agents"
