Managing Roles in Acunetix 360

Acunetix 360 allows you to create roles with preferred and secure permissions. You also have the ability to edit the roles already created.

Acunetix 360 helps you to safeguard your web application against malicious attacks by providing you with secure options when creating various roles for a team and team members. You can add developers, analysts, and other people as team members, assigning them different permissions so that they can coordinate and perform their roles safely.

Greater flexibility and granularity

You can assign team members to existing roles, website groups, and teams. Or, you can create a unique role so that a team member with a specific task to perform has the correct access. For example, you can decide on a user that can start a web application security scan but cannot view the scan's reports. Or, that user can view IP restrictions but cannot add or edit these restrictions.

Built-in roles

You have the option to assign both custom roles and built-in roles to your users. While custom roles offer greater flexibility and granularity, built-in roles can provide a convenient starting point for organizing your teams.

The following table lists and explains the available built-in roles.

Role	Description
Account Owner	Gives users all the permissions in an Acunetix 360 account. An Account Owner has all permissions to manage scans, reporting, settings, policies, and issues.
Account Administrator	Gives users permission to manage all other team members and their permissions. An Account Administrator also has permission to manage scans, reporting, settings, policies, and issues.
Manage Websites	Gives users permission to add/update the website, manage website groups, and list usernames.
Start Scans	Gives users the same permission as Manage Issues. In addition, they have permission to start scans, manage scheduled scans, and manage scan policies.
View Scan Reports	Gives users the same permission as Manage Issues, except they cannot update issues.
Manage Issues	Gives users permission to view dashboards and scan reports, list usernames and scans, create reports, and view and update issues.
Manage Issues (Restricted)	Gives users permission to view scan reports and manage issues (as with Manage Issues), except they cannot update the status of addressed issues as Accepted Risk or False Positive.
Team Administrator (Limiting Role)	Gives users permission to manage role assignments for Teams. A Team Administrator can assign certain roles and website groups to a specific Team or to Members of a Team. Note: Assigning this role limits the user to only managing roles and permissions for the team(s) they are assigned to. The Team Administrator role is intended for customers who need to prevent users from one agency or department from accessing vulnerability data for another unit within the same account.
