Assigning Roles in Organizations and Teams
Learn about the different roles available in CybeDefend organizations and teams, and how to manage user permissions.
CybeDefend provides distinct roles for Organizations and Teams, each granting specific permissions. Update roles from Organization or Team settings to ensure everyone has appropriate access levels.
Each Organization has at least one Administrator/Creator, and each Team has at least one Team Manager.
Organization Roles
Role | Description | Key Permissions |
---|---|---|
Administrator | Top-level authority. Cannot modify their own role or another Admin’s role. |
|
Manager | High-level authority but slightly less than Administrator. |
|
Billing Manager | Focuses on financial or billing aspects within the organization. |
|
Member | Standard member with basic read and limited write rights. |
|
Team Roles
Role | Description | Key Permissions |
---|---|---|
Team Manager | Leads the team. Cannot modify their own role or another Team Manager’s role. |
|
Analyst Developer | Focuses on analyzing scan results and possibly contributing code fixes. |
|
Developer | Primarily involved in writing code. |
|
Read Only | Has read access to projects, teams, and scan outcomes but no editing rights. |
|
All roles inherit the Organization’s overarching permissions, but these team roles define additional capabilities within each team.
