Permissions of role named Auditor Policy Based Scan Access
The Policy Based Scan Access feature allows administrators to restrict which scan results a role is permitted to view. When enabled, the role will only have access to scan records that match the selected policy types. This ensures that users can view only the data relevant to their responsibilities and helps enforce the principle of least privilege.
Users with the required permissions can enable this feature and choose one or more policy categories such as Credential Access, Lateral Movement, or Privilege Escalation from the dropdown menu.
This capability enhances data segmentation, improves compliance, and provides greater control over how scan results are exposed across different roles within the organization.
For roles that are editable, users can opt to delete them as necessary. This action is facilitated by clicking on the trash icon adjacent to the role in the Roles Table. Upon initiation, a confirmation window appears, allowing users to confirm or cancel the deletion process.
Select/Deselect all permissions
To expedite permission management, users can opt to select or deselect all permissions associated with a role simultaneously. This streamlined functionality is accessible through the "Select All" or "Deselect All" options, providing users with greater efficiency in managing permissions.
Expand/Collapse permission groups
Users have the flexibility to expand or collapse groups of permissions effortlessly. By clicking on the parent permission name, users can toggle the visibility of permission groups, enhancing the organization and accessibility of permission settings.
