What form will this take? Is it going to be a new flag, or will API<br>
access no longer required the "admin" flag?<br>

API access never required the admin flag in =< 2.5.1, just that non-admins can only see their own stuff, and can't see broker-wide info at all.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Ah OK. Thanks for the clarification.</div>

The admin flag has been replaced by a "tags" field for users. Users can be given arbitrary tags within rabbitmq-server. rabbitmq-management then checks for the following tags:<br>
<br>
"administrator" (do everything, same as admin before)<br>
"monitoring" (look at everything, but only touch your own stuff)<br>
"management" (limited access to mgmt, same as non-admin before)<br>
<br>
Note also that by giving a user no tags you can lock them out of mgmt completely. This would be useful if (for example) you use secret queue names as capabilities.<div class="im"><br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>
