Creating a User

If you have administrator permissions, you can create users and assign them roles to grant access to the module and its required permissions. 

• You can directly assign a user to a business unit in your account. 
• Assigned asset groups identify the assets (IP addresses, domains, and scanner appliances) the user can access for scanning, reporting, etc. If the user is in a business unit, then only the asset groups in the business unit are available.
