User management

User management in the AppSec Portal allows superusers to effectively manage user accounts, roles, and access control within the platform.

This page provides an overview of the user management features and guides on performing various user-related tasks.

User management in the AppSec Portal is performed in the "Users" page, which can be accessed through the "Users and Roles" tab.

User management tasks, such as adding, editing, deleting and assigning roles to users, can only be performed by roles that have been granted the "Can manage roles and users" permission. Ensure that the role assigned to your account has this permission in order to access and manage user accounts.
