Setting Roles and Permissions
Roles and Permissions Logic
Aikido offers three distinct user roles (admins, default and team-only users) to manage access and permissions effectively. Default and team-only users can have standard editing rights or can be read-only.
Role | Access Level |
|---|---|
Admins | Full access |
Default Users | Global / All Teams Standard rights or read-only |
Team-Only Users | Team-specific Standard rights or read-only |
Default Users vs Team-Only Users
The main difference between the two is that team-only users only have access to those issues for the teams they belong to. They still are able to mostly manage issues.
Permission | Default Users | Team-Only Users |
|---|---|---|
Issue Actions Snooze, ignore, severity change, autofix | ✅ | ✅ |
Create Tasks | ✅ | ✅ |
Add Repos | ✅ | ❌ |
Add Registries | ✅ | ❌ |
Add Domains | ✅ | Connected to repos only. No standalone. |
Export Issues | ✅ | ❌ |
Acces to Settings | All settings | General Settings Only |
Acces to Reports | All Reports | Trends Over Time Only |
Advanced Rights for Users with Standard Rights
Aikido has an extra layer of permissions that can be enabled or disabled (both for default and team-only users). This is helpful in case you still want users to be able to execute certain actions. Read-only rights block all possible actions.
Snooze/Ignore Issues: Ability to temporarily or permanently dismiss issues.
Change Issue Severity: Ability to modify the severity level of issues.
Manage Teams: Ability to manage team settings and membership.
