Users (Tenable Nessus Manager)

Required user role when using Tenable Nessus Manager: Administrator or System Administrator

Note: The Users page is only available in Tenable Nessus Manager. All users in Tenable Nessus Professional, Tenable Nessus Expert, and Tenable Nessus Essentials have System Administrator permissions.

The Users page shows a table of all Tenable Nessus Manager 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 Manager. 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 can read scan results.
Standard	Standard users can create scans and policies. A scan created by a Standard user cannot be edited by other Standard users unless they are given editing permissions from the scan creator.
Administrator	Administrators have the same privileges as Standard users, but can also manage users, user groups, and scanners and view scans that are shared by other users.
System Administrator	System Administrators have the same privileges as Administrators, but can also manage and modify system configuration settings.
Disabled	Disabled user accounts cannot be used to log in to Tenable Nessus.
