Research direction

Start by locating Spring Boot Admin's authorization configuration and existing security documentation to identify the supported roles and grants. Update the documentation to list each supported role and explain what access it provides, then verify that the LDAP authorization guidance maps clearly to those roles.

Description

type: enhancement

Hello.
In the company where I work, we're potentially evaluating Spring Boot Admin as a central monitoring solution for our, so far, Spring Boot applications.
The plan is to allow users to login into it based on the role(s) they've assigned in our Active Directory (LDAP authentication and authorization).
I've more or less clear how I should configure the application in order to achieve LDAP authentication but, regarding the authorization path, I've no idea which role(s)/grant(s) Spring Boot Admin supports so that I can map my incoming role(s) with the one supported by Spring Boot Admin in order to grant/prevent access to certain parts of the UI and/or data it displays.

Question
Can you please extend the documentation by specifying as well which role(s) Spring Boot Admin supports and what does/should each role mean?

Enhancement
Please extend the documentation with the role(s) Spring Boot Admin supports.
