Secure the appliance

Protect who can call a surface, who can administer the appliance itself, and the credentials it holds on your behalf. Field-level reference for every mechanism here is in Source authentication →, Secrets →, and RBAC →.

GuideWhat you will achieve
Validate bearer tokens on a surfaceCreate a JWT verification strategy and attach it to a surface so only callers with a valid, correctly issued token can reach it.
Rotate provider credentials without downtimePoint a surface’s LLM node at a new secret holding the new provider credential, confirm it works, then retire the old secret, so every surface keeps working while you rotate.
Limit dashboard actions with RBAC rolesAssign the Administrator, Power User, or User role to a dashboard account so it can only perform the actions its job requires.
Require terms acceptance before dashboard accessPublish your organisation’s terms and conditions from the T&C Manager, so every dashboard user accepts them at sign-in, and ask existing users to accept again when a new version is published.
