Short answer

How can I audit my Dynatrace account permissions?

Your AI pulls user lists, group assignments, and active policies directly from Dynatrace. You get a clear view of who has access to what without manual exports. This breakdown shows you how to get those results.

Audit outcomes

Security visibility

What you get after running an audit.

USER DATA

Complete user lists

The AI pulls every user registered in the account. You can identify stale accounts or unauthorized individuals immediately.

GROUP DATA

Group membership maps

See exactly which users belong to which groups. This helps you spot over-privileged clusters in your setup.

POLICY DATA

Active policy reviews

The AI lists all current account policies. You can verify that your security rules are actually applied as intended.

HUMAN REVIEW

Manual remediation

The AI identifies the gaps, but you must log in to Dynatrace to change permissions or delete users. The AI only reads the data.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and the Dynatrace API.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change user permissions?

    No. The AI can only read user, group, and policy data. You have to make all permission changes manually in Dynatrace.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete users for me?

    No. This MCP is read-only for account management. It identifies users that should be removed, but it cannot delete them.

  • 03

    Does the AI see my Dynatrace password?

    No. Vinkius manages the connection securely. Your AI client never sees your raw login credentials.

  • 04

    Can I audit specific groups?

    Yes. You can ask the AI to list members of a specific group or compare group memberships across the account.

  • 05

    How often is the data updated?

    The AI pulls live data from Dynatrace every time you ask a question, so you are always looking at the current state.
