User management🔗

An AQtive Guard user can be assigned one of the following permission levels:

• Administrator - has full access and capabilities in AQtive Guard.
• Analyst - has the capability to make changes within an organization, but are unable to make any changes that affect other users.
• Tester - has read-only access to the project(s) assigned to them in AQtive Guard.

This guide provides instructions for user management at each permission level.

The sections below explain how to perform each of these actions.

   • Username - Required. This must be unique within the organization. Any leading or trailing spaces are ignored. The username is required at log in.
   • Preferred name - Optional display name for the user.
   • Permission level - Required. This is the level you want to assign to this user.
   • Password - Required. This is the user password. It must be a minimum of 8 characters and have no leading or trailing spaces.

Analyst🔗

While they do have permissions to make changes within an organization, analysts can’t make any changes that affect other users.
