User roles explained

Everything you need to know about managing permissions in Intruder

Updated over 3 months ago

What roles are available?

For users of the Pro, Premium and Vanguard plans you can choose between 'Admin', 'Scan user' and 'Read only'.

What's the difference?

The read-only user has very limited access and is designed for those who just want to see the portal, rather than action anything. This might be a manager or someone new to the team who needs to be onboarded.

How do I assign a role?

When adding a new user to the account; head to Settings > Team > 'Add user':

Once you've added their name and email address, select either Admin, Scan user or Read-only (if you Scan user or re-only, you also have the option to restrict access to specific tags if you're subscribed to Premium or Vanguard), once that's all done hit Add user.

Can I change an existing user's role?

Absolutely, so long as you're an Admin; just head to Account > Settings > Team > locate the user and click ... > Change role

You can then adjust their role and their permissions (if the user is a non-Admin role and you're currently subscribed to Premium/Vanguard):

The change is effective immediately.

NB: Once a user has been changed to 'Read-only' or 'Scan user' the only way to reverse it would be to ask an Admin on the account to update it.
