After you complete your initial assignment of persona roles using Setup Assistant, manage additional granular role assignments to users or groups from the User Administration module in your instance.

1. To manage granular roles for users and groups, choose one to continue.

   Option	Description
   Edit the granular roles for a user or group	Assign or remove granular roles for users or groups, or edit granular roles so that only select users within a group have expanded or limited permissions. An example follows the table.
   Create a new role	Create a new role using one or more granular roles from the library for a specific job title, or to fulfill a specific requirement. An example follows the table.

   The names for the granular roles in Vulnerability Response usually describe what users can do and see. To view descriptions of specific granular roles, navigate to User Administration > Roles and locate the role that you want. Role description, roles that are automatically inherited when a role is assigned, and any roles that depend on other roles are also listed.

2. To assign or remove a granular role for a user or a group, follow these steps.
   As an example, assume you want to assign an IT manager with a role that permits this manager to view records but not update or edit them. To view records in Vulnerability Response, Performance Analytics for Vulnerability Response, and for all third party integrations, you assign this user with the sn_vul.read_all granular role.
   1. Navigate to User Administration > Users.
   2. Locate the user, and, in the Name column, click the record to open it.
      The user's record is displayed.
   3. If not selected, select the Roles tab.
      The roles currently assigned to the user are displayed.
   4. Click Edit.
      The Edit members form is displayed.
   5. In the Collection field of the slushbucket, enter the name of the role if you know it, or, enter *sn_vul to view only the granular roles available for Vulnerability Response.
   6. Locate and move sn_vul.read_all to the Roles List.
      Note: Use the same process to remove specific granular roles from users in the slushbucket by moving the role from the Roles list to the Collection list.
   7. Click Save.
      The user record is displayed with the new granular role.
   8. Click Update to save your changes and return to the Users list.
      You have provided a user with permission to read but not update records in Vulnerability Response, Performance Analytics for Vulnerability Response, and for third party integrations.
3. To edit a group so that only specific members have expanded access with more granular roles, follow these steps.
   As example, assume you want to permit certain users in the Remediation Owner (sn_vul.remediation_owner) group to create vulnerable items manually, but you don't want to expand that permission to all users in the group. The permission to create vulnerable items manually is granted by the sn_vul.create_vulnerable_items granular role. To grant this permission to only select users from this group, follow these steps.
   1. Navigate to User Administration > Groups.
   2. Locate the Remediation Owner group, and, in the Name column, click the group to open the record.
      The group record is displayed.
   3. If not selected, select the Group Members tab.
      The current members of the group are displayed.
   4. Click a name from the list you want to assign the granular role to and open the record.
   5. On the record, scroll to the Roles tab and select it.
      The roles assigned to the user are displayed.
   6. Click Edit.
      The Edit members form is displayed.
   7. In the Collection field, enter the name of the role if you know it, or, enter *sn_vul to view all the granular roles available for Vulnerability Response.
   8. Locate and move sn_vul.create_vulnerable_items to the Roles List.

      

   9. Click Save.
      The user record is displayed with the new granular role.
   10. Click the back arrow to return to view the users in the record for the Remediation Owner group
   11. Click names from the list you want to assign this granular role to, open their records, and use the slushbucket to assign the role.
   12. After you complete your edits, Click Update to save your changes and return to the groups list.
       You have provided some users in the Remediation Owner (sn_vul.remediation_owner) group permission to create vulnerable items manually.
4. To create a new role using only granular roles you select, follow these steps.
   For this example, assume you want to create role for a compliance auditor. This role works closely with Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), and the job requires the following permissions and tasks within Vulnerability Response:

   • Manages remediation deadlines for vulnerable items and vulnerability groups
   • Approves exception requests for extending deadlines or deferring remediation
   • Manages the clean up of older vulnerable items with auto-delete
   • Define risk scores
   • Reads all records in Vulnerability Response but is not permitted to edit them.
   1. Navigate to User Administration > Roles.
   2. In the Roles list, click New.
   3. In the Role record, fill out the fields. Create a name, select the application that contains this record, and enter a short description for your new role. For more information about the other fields on the form, see Create a role.
      Note: When creating a name for your new role, you may prefer to use a name that is easily recognized in the roles list and describes the functionality of the role. For this example, you may prefer a title such as, Compliance Auditor - GRC-VR.
   4. Click Submit.
      The Roles list is displayed.
   5. Locate your new role and click it to open the record.
   6. Click Edit.
      The Edit Members form is displayed.
   7. Use the slushbucket to add granular roles to your new role. For this example, the required roles for this new role are displayed in the right column in the following figure.
      To display only the granular roles for Vulnerability Response, in the Collection field, enter *sn_vul.

      

   8. Click Save.
      The record for your new role is displayed. Starting with the Contains Roles tab, continue editing the role as required.
   9. Click Update to save your changes.
      Your new role is displayed on the Roles list.
