Create and manage roles

This document is for Invicti Platform

Invicti Platform provides role-based access control (RBAC) to manage user permissions effectively. With RBAC, System Administrators can restrict and grant access based on assigned user roles.

This document explains how to add and manage custom roles.

info

Each user must have at least one role assigned to them.

Default roles​

When creating a user, you must assign a role to that user. The first account created is assigned the Owner role, which has the ability to create additional users, assign roles to them, and configure which scan targets can be scanned or reported on. Users can be granted permissions for specific Target Groups, allowing them to create new targets, scan them, or generate reports on the targets within the group.

Invicti Platform comes with five Default roles with specific Role permissions.

Managing custom roles​

In addition to the default roles, Owners can create custom roles with specific permissions, clone default roles, edit custom roles, and delete them. This provides greater control over user access and allows for fine-tuned permissions. A role can be assigned to a user during the user creation process.

Create a custom role​

  1. As an Owner, go to Users, teams & roles > Manage roles from the left-side menu.
  2. Select Add new role.

  1. On the Edit role page, enter the role name and description, and choose one or more permissions based on the role's needs.
