Adding and managing user groups

Acunetix Premium+ offers role-based access control (RBAC) to manage user access. System Administrators can set up user groups to limit and authorize access to Acunetix for a group of users. Each time you assign a role to a user group, you can choose if that role will apply to all targets or just select target groups. That way, you can restrict access to specific targets and make sure everyone can access only what they should have access to.

This article explains how to add and manage user groups. For further information, refer to Overview of Users and Roles in Acunetix.
