User Roles and Permissions in WebYes
Last updated on 12 November 2024
In WebYes, user roles determine the actions you can perform within the platform. Permissions are managed at the organization level, allowing users to have different roles across multiple organizations—for example, an Admin in one organization and a Viewer in another. This guide provides a detailed breakdown of the access rights associated with each role.
User Roles and Permissions
| User Role | Permissions |
|---|---|
| Viewer | * View and access the dashboard * Download scan reports |
| Admin | Admins have all the permissions a viewer has, and an admin also has the following permission: * Initiate scans * Create organization * Add sites to the organization * Add users to the organization * Change the name of websites/organization * Change the roles of users |
| Account Owner | Account owners have all the permissions that a Admin has, and an admin also has the following permission: * Make payments and handle subscription * Initiate scans * Create organization * Add sites to the organization * Add users to the organization * Change the name of websites/organization * Change the roles of users |
WebYes allows users with higher privileges to modify the roles of those with lower privileges, ensuring effective organizational role management. For example, an Account Owner has the authority to change the roles of Admins or Viewers, granting or restricting access as needed. This hierarchy helps maintain control over permissions while enabling flexibility in assigning responsibilities.
