Roles

Roles define actions that a user account is allowed to perform. In Tripwire.io, there are two types of Roles:

  • Global Roles define actions that a user account is allowed to perform on all Assets. Global Roles are created by Tripwire.io, and cannot be changed or edited by users. See Global Role Descriptions for more details.
  • Custom Roles define actions that a user account is allowed to perform on specific resources (Assets Tags, Data Sources, etc). Custom Roles can be created or edited by users.

Each user account can have multiple Global and/or Custom Roles. In addition, you can assign Roles to user accounts with User Groups.

Note:  

You should always assign a user account the AllowlistAdmin, AssessmentAdmin, and AllowlistSettingsAdmin Custom Roles for the same Allowlist Type.

You can mix Global and Custom roles for the same user account. For example:

  • To enable a user to administer only the Open Ports Allowlist, but all asset and tag types, assign:
    TSAAdmin-OpenPort (custom), AssetAdmin (global), TagAdmin (global).
  • To enable a user to administer only the Open Ports Allowlist, and only for Windows Assets:
    TSAAdmin-OpenPort (custom), AssetAdmin-Windows (custom), TagAdmin-Windows (custom)
  • To enable a user to administer all Allowlist types, but only Windows Assets:
    TSAAdmin (global), AssetAdmin-Windows (custom), TagAdmin-Windows (custom)
