Giving users access to a site
When creating or editing a site, you can control which users have access to it. Allowing users to configure and run scans on only those assets for which they are responsible is a security best practice, and it ensures that different teams in your organization are able to manage targeted segments of your network.
For example, your organization has an administrative office in Chicago, a sales office in Hong Kong, and a research center in Berlin. Each of these locations has its own site with a dedicated IT or security team in charge of administering its assets. By giving one team access to the Berlin site and not to the other two sites, you allow that team to monitor and patch the research center assets without being able to see sensitive information in the administrative or sales offices.
When Global Administrator creates a user account, they can either grant the user access to all sites, or restrict access by adding the user to access lists for specific sites. For more information, read Configure general user account attributes.
Global Administrators and users with access to all sites do not appear in the Configure User Access list because they automatically have access to any site.
To configure user access to a site:
- On the Home page, click the Edit icon for the site that you want to add users to.
- Click the Details tab.
- Under Configure User Access, select the users you want to add.
- Click Save.
