Defining role permissions
When creating or editing a role, it is important to carefully consider the access permissions required for the role. Each permission determines the level of access and control a user with that role will have within the AppSec Portal. Evaluate the specific functionalities and data that should be accessible to users assigned to the role and select the appropriate permissions accordingly.
| Permission level | Rule visibility | Rule editing | Adding/removing affected products from rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| No access (no available product types/products affecting this rule for the role) | Rule is hidden | N/A | N/A |
| Partial access (at least one product in this rule is available for the role) | Rule is viewable | Restricted | Allowed (only products that are specifically assigned to the role) |
| Full access (all products in a rule are available for the role) | Rule is viewable | Allowed | Allowed |
