Is there a comprehensive list of tomcat roles?

Tags:

tomcat

I want to have full access and control of tomcat to make my life simple for development. I am aware of the roles 'admin' and 'manager' and know there are a few more with hyphens such as 'manager-gui' but where can I find a comprehensive list with descriptions of the available roles? I can't even find a partial list in the documentation so anything close would be helpful.

The admin and manager roles no longer exist in Tomcat 7+ and have been replaced by more specific roles.

For the Tomcat Manager application:

  • manager-gui: allows access to the HTML GUI and the status pages
  • manager-script: allows access to the text interface and the status pages
  • manager-jmx: allows access to the JMX proxy and the status pages
  • manager-status: allows access to the status pages only

For the Host Manager application:

  • admin-gui: allows access to the HTML GUI and the status pages
  • admin-script: allows access to the text interface and the status pages
