PlexTrac offers role-based access controls (RBAC) at the client level. RBAC allows teams to efficiently manage user privileges and permissions based on specific client requirements, enabling effective collaboration and task accomplishment.
Within PlexTrac, three default levels of access exist that can be assigned to users based on their responsibilities:
Administrator: An Administrator has the highest access level within PlexTrac. They possess extensive privileges and can perform various tasks, including creating reports, adding findings, tracking status, managing users, configuring settings, and accessing all areas of the platform related to the client.
Standard User: A Standard User plays a crucial role in managing and documenting client activities. They can create reports, add findings, and track the status of ongoing projects. This level of access allows Standard Users to contribute actively, collaborate with other team members, and provide valuable insights throughout the process.
Analyst: An Analyst is a user with a more limited role. Their primary responsibility is to track and update the status of identified vulnerabilities. While they may not have the authority to create reports or add findings, their role is essential in ensuring the accurate documentation and timely resolution of identified issues. Analysts can provide real-time updates on the progress of vulnerability mitigation efforts, making it easier for the broader team to stay informed and take necessary actions.
These default access levels ensure each team member has the appropriate privileges and responsibilities aligned with their role and contribution to the client's initiatives. By assigning specific access levels, teams can streamline workflows, maintain data integrity, and improve overall efficiency in managing and securing client environments.
