It is now easier than ever to restrict the availability of your organization's sensitive content using the fully redesigned Roles Management settings page in BigPanda. Using the new and improved page, you can quickly create roles and adjust access to areas and functionality of BigPanda on a per-user basis.

What's New

• Fully redesigned screen for creating and editing roles with ease
• Faster, more intuitive way to assign environment permissions
• New role details panel allows you to quickly assign roles to users
• Updated list of permissions in BigPanda

Create or Edit Roles

Roles can be created and managed in BigPanda at Settings > Roles Management. The role editing screen has been updated with an intuitive new design that allows you to quickly assign permissions and access levels.

All within the same screen, you can easily see the permissions available. Each permission in BigPanda has two options that dictate the level of access. The two access levels provided by BigPanda permissions are:

• View - View-only access. The resource cannot be interacted with or edited.
• Full Access - All actions related to the resource can be performed.

To assign a permission to a role, determine the access level needed and select the appropriate checkbox from the list.

Environment Permissions

Granular access to specific environments can now be assigned using dropdown menus during the role creation process. To add specific environment permissions, follow the steps to Create or Edit a role, and scroll to the Environment Permissions section.

📘

To provide access to manage (create, delete, edit) all environments, assign the Environments permission to a role. If you assigned the full access Environments permission to a role, a message will appear in the Environment Permissions section that says “This Role has a permission to manage (create, delete, edit) all environments.”

The following permission types are available for environments:

• Incident Actions Permission - Full access Ability to perform actions on all enrichment tags and incidents (assign, snooze, share, comment), minus environment configuration in the specified environment(s).
• View Incidents Permission - Read-only access to all enrichment tags and incidents in the specified environment(s) without the ability to change or perform any incident action.

Add a User to a Role

Adding a user to a role provides them with access to all of the permissions configured in the role. Users can now quickly be added or removed to a role from within the role details pane.

Updated Permissions List

Permissions are now divided by common BigPanda user types in the following categories:

• Account Administrator
• Tool Architect
