Client interface is any software interface that requests DB role connection details via Catalog API and then works with instance databases.
Examples:
- JSON-RPC client integrations
- drivers and bridge services
- internal automation scripts
- Client is not a user and not a device.
- Client has a global identity in the platform.
- Client can be bound to host roles and services.
- Client API key is valid across nodes.
Client manuals provide end-user documentation in Node Manager.
- A manual can be global or instance-specific.
- Manual files are stored in DBM and published to target views.
- Typical content: integration instructions, certificates, endpoint details.
- Create or update client interface metadata.
- Configure allowed DB roles if needed.
- Maintain client manuals for users.
- Review services that implement the client on hosts.
Permissions are described in Admin permissions.
