User and Group Management

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

CYBERQUEST implements Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) to manage user permissions through predefined roles. This security model allows administrators to: - Assign granular permissions to user groups - Control access to web interface components - Maintain consistent access policies across the organization

Administrators can create new roles or modify existing ones to meet specific security requirements.

Create or Modify User Roles

To create or modify user roles:

1.Log in with administrative privileges

2.Navigate to Settings > Users and groups > Groups

3.Create a new group or edit an existing one

4.In the Assigned Permissions field, select appropriate access rights

5.In the Data Permissions field, define data access filters

Roles are always assigned at the group level, not directly to individual users.

To add or edit user roles:

1.Log in to the application with an administrative account.

2.Navigate to Settings by clicking the Alt Image button on the left side of the interface, then select Users and groups > Groups.

To delete a group:

  1. Navigate to Settings by clicking the Alt Image button on the left side of the interface, then select Users and groups > Groups.

Press the "Save" button to apply changes and close the window, or press "Cancel" to close the window without saving. Alternatively, the window can be closed without saving changes by clicking the Alt Image icon in the top-right corner.

You can also change group status being Enabled or Disabled. Group status can be quickly changed from main Groups window by actioning on Active option button and selecting On or Off. In this case, changes are saved automatically.

Data Permissions

Data permissions work in conjunction with role-based access controls to provide granular data visibility management. These permissions are configured at the group level to: - Restrict data access by category - Implement need-to-know basis security - Enforce data governance policies
