      Multiple roles can be specified separated by commas. To be authorized to work in the service, the authenticated user must belong to at least one of these roles.

  3. Restart all services for which authentication has been configured. To do this, apply the action Restart by clicking on the actions default dark actions default light in the Actions column.

After successfully applying the Basic Auth action, the connection to the services is made after the specified user is authenticated.
