    - Defining custom user roles
      A custom role is a set of permissions that are applied to a user so that they can perform certain administrative tasks.
    - Changing the default user role
      Administrators can change the default user role to any role (except Administrator), including a custom role. This ability helps you customize user access for your organization.
  - Asset groups
    Asset groups represent abstract components of your organization, like "Finance" or "Engineering." Administrators can restrict access to specific applications by assigning them to an asset group and limiting the users who belong in the group.
- Applications
  An application is a collection of scans related to the same project. It can be a web site, a desktop app, a mobile app, a web service, or any component of an app. Applications enable you to asses risk, identify trends, and make sure that your project is compliant with industry and organization policies.
- Policies
  You can apply the predefined policies, as well as your own custom policies, to show only data for the issues that are relevant for you.
