User accounts and permissions

Before AppScan® Source users can begin to scan or triage results, an administrator must create user accounts and assign permissions to the accounts.

Important: This topic applies only if you have upgraded to AppScan® Source version 10.0.2 or higher from a 10.0.1 or earlier version of the product. New installations of AppScan® Source version 10.0.2 do not have this functionality; all user administration of new AppScan® Source installations occurs in AppScan® Enterprise.

AppScan® Source user permissions are stored in the AppScan® Source Database and applied when a user is logged in to the AppScan® Enterprise Server. Users that run AppScan® Source for Development in local mode have full AppScan® Source permissions.

When you create a user, you establish a role for that user and identify the permissions available for that user. Permissions identify the allowable AppScan® Source tasks for that user. Tasks not specifically identified as part of a permission are available to all users.

Note: You cannot modify a user ID. You must delete the user account and recreate the user with the same user ID.
