Roles and Permissions in Code Insight​

Code Insight offers a set of user roles and permissions that enables your site to control access to Code Insight features and functionality.

The initial Code Insight System Administrator, identified during Code Insight installation, can assign users to system-level roles for managing Code Insight policies and creating Code Insight projects. The System Administrator can also create other System Administrators and define default Analysts and Reviewers that are automatically assigned to projects when they are created.

At the project level, a project creator automatically becomes the Project Contact as well as a Project Administrator (among other roles) for the project. A Project Administrator can assign users to project roles that enable these users to analyze and review project scan results. The administrator can also remove a user from any project role as needed, whether the user was manually assigned the role or inherited it.

For more about the management of Code Insight roles and permissions, refer to the following:

  • The Managing Users section in this guide describes the management of user accounts and the assignment users to system roles.

  • The “Assigning and Removing Project Users” section in the Code Insight User Guide describes the assignment of users to project roles.

  • The Code Insight User Roles and Permissions chapter in this guide serves as a reference to the various Code Insight system and project roles available and the permissions granted to each role.
