Roles

Roles define the level of access and permissions a user has within your organization's SixMap account. Each user is assigned one or more roles determining which actions they can perform and which parts of the app they can access.

tip

To manage roles, you must have the Admin role.

Currently, SixMap offers the following default roles:

• Admin: This role grants full access to all pages and sections within your SixMap account. Admins have complete control over the account, including user management, organization settings, and all application features.

• Organization manager: This role grants access to all pages within your SixMap account, except for the Administration section. Organization managers can view and interact with all features, including the Change request form, which allows them to modify the organization's hierarchy. However, they cannot access administrative functions like user management or organization settings.

• User: This role grants access to most pages within the SixMap account but restricts access to the Change request form and the Administration section. Users with this role can view and interact with scans and other core features but cannot change the organization's hierarchy or access administrative functions.

  info

  When a new user joins your organization, we automatically assign them to the User role. Admins can then manually assign additional roles to users based on their responsibilities and needs.

Manually assign a role to a user

1. Navigate to Administration, Users.
2. Select Invite and enter the user's name and email address.
3. Select a role.
4. Select Invite to send the invitation.

Edit a user's role

1. Navigate to Administration, Users.
2. Select the menu under Actions next to the user you want to edit, and select Edit member.
3. In the Access requirements & permissions section, select Edit.
4. Under Role assignments, select:
   • Revoke from the Action column to remove an existing role
   • Add Role assignment to manually add a role. If your organization automatically assigns a role based on criteria such as the user's email domain, you can't edit the role.
     info

     We automatically assign all users to the User role.

5. Select Save.

Edit automatic role assignments

1. Navigate to Administration, Organization settings.
2. Select Edit from the Automatic role assignments section.
3. Select Add role assignment.
   • In the Select Role: field, choose the role to automatically assign.
   • In the Select Source: field, select the source that will trigger the role assignment:
     • Email domain: Assign the role based on the user's email domain. For example, assign all users with the email domain @example.com to the User role.
     • SCIM Group: SCIM (System for Cross-domain Identity Management) allows you to manage users and groups from external identity providers. This option assigns roles based on the user's membership in a specific SCIM group. For details, see SCIM.
     • SSO Connection: SSO (Single Sign-On) allows users to authenticate through a centralized identity provider. This option assigns roles based on the user's SSO connection. For example, assign all users who log in through Okta to the Admin role. For details, see SSO.
   • Select Save.
