# Users & Permissions

Everyone in your organization signs in to CyberGuard with their Microsoft work account. Administrators decide who can access the portal and what each person can do, in **Company Profile → Edit → Users**.

The list shows every user who has signed in at least once, with email, role, status and last access. Click a user to open their settings.

## Approving New Users

The first time a person of your organization signs in, the account is created but not active yet: an administrator has to approve it. Until then, the person sees a page saying that access is pending. Open the user, turn on **Account Status** and assign the permissions.

## Roles and Permissions

Each user has an **Administrative Role**:

- **Tenant Admin** — full access to the portal and its configuration: users, SMTP, notifications, scheduling, the Microsoft Entra app, accepting risks and locking assessments. The permissions below are ignored for administrators.
- **User** — access limited to the permissions you choose.

For users, the **Access Level** defines what they can do with assessments:

| Permission | What it allows |
| --- | --- |
| **View Assessment** | See the assessments and their data. |
| **Import Assessment** | Upload new assessments. |
| **Run Assessment** | Start assessments (Microsoft Entra, Microsoft 365, Active Directory, SharePoint sharing link scans) and download agents and probes with their configuration file or installation code. Without it, a user can see the assessments run by others or by the [schedule](https://wiki.cyberguard.srl/cat/administration/scheduling.md), but the buttons to start them do not appear. |
| **Edit Assessment** | Edit the notes and data of an assessment. |
| **Delete Assessment** | Permanently delete assessments. |
| **Export Report** | Generate and download the PDF reports. |

Administrators always have every permission. New users start without **Run Assessment**: grant it to the people who run the assessments.

Below the access level, **Permissions** let you choose which areas of the portal a user can see — for example Active Directory, Microsoft Entra, Microsoft 365, Security Score, Workspace — and, inside each area, which tabs. Use **Toggle all** to switch a whole group at once. An area the user cannot see does not appear in their menu.

## Disabling a User

To remove access — for example when someone leaves the organization — open the user and turn off **Account Status**. Disabling is better than deleting: the history of what the user did (activities in the Workspace, accepted risks, audit log) stays intact.

Every change to users and permissions is recorded in the **Audit Log** tab.
