Note: This information applies when WAS 1.0 is enabled for your subscription.
The web application scanning (WAS) module implements a two-level permissions system for managing user access to WAS features. WAS features are available to users when the WAS module is enabled for the subscription, and users have WAS permissions. Managers have full WAS permissions. Other users are assigned WAS permissions at the account level and web application level.
The following table provides a summary of user access to web application scanning features. A filled circle () indicates that permission to use the feature is granted to the user automatically. "n/a" indicates that the feature is not applicable to the user.
