Users
User management allows you to control access to sensitive applications by assigning them to asset groups and then adding specific users to those groups.
Roles
A user's permission is determined by their role. There are five pre-defined roles: Administrator, Manager, Application Manager, Tester, and Reporting Viewer that cannot be modified or deleted. An administrator assigns users to asset groups. Administrators have the ability to change the default user role to any role (except Administrator), including a custom role. Users who have the permission to manage and invite other users cannot assign them a role that is higher than their own role. For example, a Manager cannot invite a user and assign them an Administrator role. Additionally, a user cannot invite someone to a role that has privileges that the inviting user does not have.
Defining custom user roles
Administrators or Managers can create custom roles and assign a set of permissions to them so that they can perform certain administrative tasks. If Administrators or Managers create custom roles with permissions to create, modify, or assign user roles, these users will also have the privilege to define custom roles.

Getting started

- Users
  User management allows you to control access to sensitive applications by assigning them to asset groups and then adding specific users to those groups.
  - Manage users
    Examine your users and decide who needs access to which applications and asset groups. Consider grouping users by business unit or geography.
  - Roles
    A user's permission is determined by their role. There are five pre-defined roles: Administrator, Manager, Application Manager, Tester, and Reporting Viewer that cannot be modified or deleted. An administrator assigns users to asset groups. Administrators have the ability to change the default user role to any role (except Administrator), including a custom role. Users who have the permission to manage and invite other users cannot assign them a role that is higher than their own role. For example, a Manager cannot invite a user and assign them an Administrator role. Additionally, a user cannot invite someone to a role that has privileges that the inviting user does not have.
    - Defining custom user roles
      Administrators or Managers can create custom roles and assign a set of permissions to them so that they can perform certain administrative tasks. If Administrators or Managers create custom roles with permissions to create, modify, or assign user roles, these users will also have the privilege to define custom roles.
    - 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.
- DevOps
  Tools for incorporating ASoC in your software development lifecycle.
- Personal scans
  A personal scan is a way of evaluating the relative security of an application in development without affecting overall application scan data (issues, for example), or compliance.
- Scan status
- Audit trail
  The audit trail (Organization > Audit trail) logs user activity.
Dynamic analysis
AppScan on Cloud performs security scans for web-applications for production, staging and development environments. For development environments it is aided by Private Site Scanning technology to scan applications not accessible to the open Internet.
Interactive monitoring
Using an agent installed on your application, ASoC identifies security vulnerabilities in your application during runtime by monitoring all interactions, both legitimate and malicious. The process is "passive," in the sense that IAST does not send its own tests, and can therefore run indefinitely.
Software Composition Analysis
Use Software Composition Analysis (SCA) to scan for security vulnerabilities in open source and third-party packages used by your code. SCA includes Intelligent Finding Analytics (IFA) and Intelligent Code Analytics (ICA).
Static analysis
Use static analysis (SAST) to scan for security vulnerabilities in web and desktop applications. Static analysis includes Intelligent Finding Analytics (IFA) and Intelligent Code Analytics (ICA).
Results
The Scans and Sessions page lists the scans under the categories DAST, SAST, SCA, and IAST, where you can view your scan results, including scan statistics. To view, rescan, or download reports, select a scan.
Troubleshooting
If you experience problems with this service, you can perform these troubleshooting tasks to determine the corrective action to take.

Defining custom user roles

Administrators or Managers can create custom roles and assign a set of permissions to them so that they can perform certain administrative tasks. If Administrators or Managers create custom roles with permissions to create, modify, or assign user roles, these users will also have the privilege to define custom roles.

About this task

As an organizational security measure, users assigned limited administrative permissions see a streamlined view of the Administration tab and can only access the administrative pages they are allowed to use.
You cannot delete a custom role if it is assigned to a user. Reassign the user to a different role and then delete the custom role.
Predefined user roles cannot be deleted.

Procedure

Select Access management > Roles.
Click Add new role and give the custom role a unique name and description.
Select the capabilities for this role and click Save.
