Granting User Access to Web Applications

Note: This information applies when WAS 1.0 is enabled for your subscription.

Managers have full access rights for all web applications, when the web application scanning (WAS) module is enabled for the subscription. The web application owner has full rights for their own web application. Users with full access rights for the web application may grant access rights to other users.

Other users may be granted various access rights (Read, Write, Execute) for web applications when the Manage web applications user permission is granted in their account (see Granting WAS User Permissions). User access rights are granted for each web application, so a user may have more access rights for one web application than another.

 

To grant user access to a web application:

1.    Select Web Applications from the left menu, under Tools.

2.    Identify the web application you want to grant access rights to, and click ico_edit.jpg.

3.    Select the User Access tab to show the users who have already been granted access to the web application, if any. The access rights (Read, Write and Execute) for each user are displayed. (The user list does not include Manager users and the web application owner since these users are granted full access to the web application automatically.)

4.    Click Add if you wish to add one or more users to the list. In the Select Users pop-up, select each user you want to add to the list, and then click Add.

5.    For each user, assign access rights using the check boxes provided:

      Read. Select to allow the user to view the web application and run reports on it. The Read access is required if you also want to grant additional access (Write and/or Execute).

      Write. Select to allow the user to edit the web application.

      Execute. Select to allow the user to scan the web application (Applicable to Scanner and Unit Manager accounts).

6.    Click Apply to save your changes to the user access list. The message "New permissions have been applied" appears briefly below the list. (Note that if you do not click Apply then your changes to the user access list will not be saved, even if you click Save to save the web application.)

7.    Click Save if you've made other changes to the web application that you want to save at this time. Click Cancel to close the web application form and return to the web applications list.
