Organization Assignment Roles

Please Note: For Product-level assignments, please see Modifying Product Settings.

Overview

This page describes the different types of Organization-level assignments. These assignments can be done via the Admin → Assignments menu, available to organization administrators in the SCA UI.

You can assign individuals or groups to a role, to provide them with the required permissions.

For details on how to assign a role to a group of users, see Assigning a Role to a Group.

Default Approvers

All tickets in the organization are sent to the Default Approver.

Changing the Default Approver only impacts future tickets, and existing tickets remain assigned to their original Approver.

The organization must have a Default Approver at all times.

The role of Default Approver is assigned to the organization creator by default, and any member of the organization can be assigned to this role. You can also assign the Default Approver to a specific group.

An Approver can also be assigned to a specific Product(s).

The Product(s) level Default Approver overrides the organization level Default Approver for their relevant Product(s).

Administrators

Administrators have control over the entire organization. They can create, invite, and remove users, add products and projects, and much more.

The role of an Administrator can be assigned to groups and individuals.

Assigning the role of Administrator to individuals is not recommended. Instead, consider using only groups for simpler and easier user and role management.

The organization must have at least one Administrator at all times.

New Alert Email Receivers

Users or groups assigned to the New Alert Email Receivers role will receive an email notification whenever a new alert is created for a product or project within the organization.
For more information on alert settings and available alerts, refer to our documentation on Managing Alert Settings.

Alert Ignorers

Besides the administrators, only the Alert Ignorers have permission to ignore alerts in the organization.

The role of Alert Ignorers can be assigned to groups and/or individuals.

Alert Ignorers do not have control over the entire organization.

License and Copyright Assigners

This role allows users and groups to manually override a license and copyright assignment that was applied automatically during analysis.

Auditors

The Auditor role provides the user read-only access to all the organization’s data.
NOTE: The auditor role can be assigned to Service Users only.
