Users
The Users page shows a table of all Tenable Nessus user accounts. This documentation refers to that table as the users table. Each row of the users table includes the username, the date of the last login, and the role assigned to the account.
User accounts are assigned roles that dictate the level of access a user has in Tenable Nessus. You can disable or change the role of a user account at any time. The following table describes the roles that you can assign to users:
|
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Basic |
Basic user roles can read scan results. Note: This role is not available in Tenable Nessus Professional or Tenable Nessus Expert. |
|
Standard |
Standard users can create scans and policies. A scan created by a Standard user cannot be edited by other Standard users unless they're given editing permissions from the scan creator. Note: This role is not available in Tenable Nessus Professional or Tenable Nessus Expert. |
|

Administrators have the same privileges as Standard users, but can also manage users, user groups, and scanners. In Nessus Manager, Administrators can view scans that are shared by users. Tenable Nessus Professional and Tenable Nessus Expert users are Administrators by default. |
