User Permissions Matrix in Netsparker Enterprise

Netsparker Enterprise is an online, multi-user web application security solution. You can create as many users as you need, so everyone who is involved in the development and upkeep of the scanned web applications can do what is required to ensure the long-term security of all your web applications.

The Permissions Matrix describes each Account Type and lists its permissions, enabling you to decide which privileges to assign to each user.

The User Permissions Matrix displays two roles: Account Owner and Account Member.

For further information, see Configuring User Permissions in Netsparker Enterprise.

Account Owner

This is the primary user that is automatically created for you, using the email address you stated when you either applied for a demo or purchased a license. You can allocate this account to your Team Leader and give them the responsibility of creating all other team members. There can only be one Account Owner.

Account Member

This is a team member account created by the Account Owner. You can assign different privileges to the account members.

What Each User Permission Enables Users To Do

The Permissions are split into various groups, whose headings are highlighted in blue on the User Permissions Matrix.

Permission Group	Description
Manage Websites	This group enables users to add and update Websites, delete Websites, view the Dashboard and Global Dashboard and manage Website Groups.
Manage Team	This group enables users to reset an API Token, disable API Access for a team member, create a User Invitation, manage someone's Account and access Users and Usernames lists.
