User and role administration

Securing and managing APIs requires policy building, monitoring, and threat mitigation activities that may require efforts from multiple organizational job roles. Users can be assigned one of these five roles—Admin, Developer, Security Infosec, Security Operations, and Demo. These user roles map to the job roles required for managing and securing APIs.

Add user

AppSentinels user accounts are created using the email address of the user. Upon adding a user by their email address, an invitation email is sent to the user. After accepting the invite, the user must set a password for the account.

1. Go to More > Settings > User & Role Administration.
2. Click the Add User icon, enter the email address, select a user role, and click Add.

See Role privileges to decide upon the user role for the user.

Change user role

The user role assigned to a user can be changed at any time. For user role change to take effect, the user must log out and log into their account.

• Click the Edit icon in the Actions column, assign a new role in the Role column, and then click the green tick mark in the Actions column.

Delete user

Delete a user account to revoke their access to AppSentinels. Deletion takes effect immediately—an ongoing login session is terminated when the user account is deleted.
