Roles and Permissions

Overview

The system uses a role-based access control (RBAC) model to manage user privileges. Each role has predefined functions and permissions, ensuring users only have the access necessary for their responsibilities. This minimizes security risks and simplifies administration.

Role Definitions

      • Create, edit, and delete user accounts.

      • Perform troubleshooting and advanced configuration changes.

      • Full visibility and control across all network resources.

  2. Editor

Best Practices

  • Assign Admin role sparingly – only to trusted IT/Infosec staff.

  • Use Editor roles for departmental managers who need to manage limited resources.

  • Provide Viewer roles to auditors and compliance staff for transparency.

  • Restrict Guest roles to external/temporary users with the least privileges.

  • Regularly review role assignments to ensure least-privilege access.

In short: Roles define who can do what in the ZTNA system, balancing security with operational flexibility.
