Team Administrator Capabilities and Assigning the Role

This document is for:
Invicti Enterprise On-Demand, Invicti Enterprise On-Premises

In Invicti, you have access to both the built-in Team Administrator role and the option to create custom Team Administrator roles. This document focuses on detailing the functionalities and capabilities of the built-in Team Administrator role.

For information on configuring more restricted roles tailored to your specific needs, refer to the Custom Team Administrator roles with setup examples document.

Built-in Team Administrator role and its capabilities

The Team Administrator Role is a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) feature that can manage access to Invicti through the assignment of roles to team members. This is useful for customers who want to stop users in one group from seeing vulnerability data in another group under the same account.

As a System Administrator, you can give the Team Administrator role to any of your users. This lets them choose which roles and target groups are given to any team they're part of. Team Administrators can also assign roles and target groups to specific members within their teams.

important

Team Administrators can assign roles to team members only if they already hold those roles themselves.

Here is a breakdown of what Team Administrators can and cannot do.

Team Administrators can:

  • Assign Roles and Target Groups to a Team. These permissions then apply to all its members.
  • Assign Roles and Target Groups to specific Team members to grant them additional permissions.

Team Administrators cannot:

  • Rename a Team
  • Add or remove members from a Team
  • Modify direct roles for other Team Administrators

The table below provides an example of how you can exert different levels of control using the Team Administrator role
