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 Container Registries	✅	❌
Add Domains	✅	Connected to repos only. No standalone.
Export Issues	✅	❌
Code Quality	✅	❌
Zen Firewall	✅	❌
Acces to Settings	All settings	General Settings Only
Acces to Reports	All Reports	Trends Over Time, Licenses & SBOM and Malware Monitor

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.
