Managing users

Acunetix offers role-based access control (RBAC) to efficiently manage user access. RBAC empowers you to limit or authorize user access to Acunetix based on users' specific roles.

You can manage all your users on the Users page. On this page, you can instantly review the roles given to each user. You can also give the "Access All Targets" right to individual users, disable users, and remove users from your account.

This topic explains how to add and delete users and explains account settings. For further information on users and roles, refer to Overview of users and roles in Acunetix.

Tip: Only System Administrators can add users.
