The Team Administrator Role

As a System Administrator, you can grant the Team Administrator role to any one of your users. This gives your user the ability to decide which roles are assigned to any team which your user is a member of, and which group of websites the team can perform operations on, as defined by the roles.

The Team Administrator can also be more granular with the assignment of roles and website groups, applying them directly to individual members of the teams under the Team Administrator's responsibility.

This allows you to achieve any simple or complex level of control, like the example in this table:

Assigning the Team Administrator role

Using the Team Administrator role

A Team Administrator can:

• Assign roles to a Team; such roles will therefore cascade to all the members of the Team
• Assign roles to a specific Member of a team; this will provide additional permissions to that Member

A Team Administrator cannot:

• Rename a Team
• Add members to a Team
• Remove members from a Team

Restricted Team Administrator Roles

As a System Administrator, you may wish to restrict the scope of role assignments that a Team Administrator can influence.

One scenario could be if you wish to restrict a Team Administrator to manage role assignments at the team level, but not individually for each member.

Another scenario could be if you wish to restrict a Team Administrator to manage role assignments for individual members of the team, but not applying role assignments to the team as a whole.

How to leverage the Edit My Team's Roles functionality

The Edit My Team's Roles permission does not have a specific function, but can be combined with other roles to allow a member to have limited Team Administrator privileges, without permitting the full range of control that the default Team Administrator role would allow.

Scenario 1 - Team-Centric Team Administrator

Create the Team-Centric custom role

1. Sign in to Acunetix 360 as a System Administrator.
2. From the sidebar, select Team > Manage Roles.

3. In the Roles page, click the New Role button.

4. In the New Role page:

• Set the name for your new custom role; in this example we have set the name to Team Admin :: Team-Centric
• From the Permissions list, enable the following permissions:

• Edit My Team's Roles
• Edit Team
• View Team List
• View Website Group List

5. Click Save at the bottom of the page.
