Convert an Access Group to a Permission Configuration

Required User Role: Administrator

Tenable is converting all access groups into permission configurations. As this conversion runs, you may notice your existing access groups undergoing changes. Moving forward, Tenable recommends that you use permissions to manage user and group access to resources on your Tenable Vulnerability Management instance. For more information, see Transition to Permission Configurations.

On the Access Groups page, you can convert your existing access groups into permission configurations.

Note: Once you convert an access group into a permission configuration, you cannot revert the converted permission configuration into an access group.

Note: The Access Group tile appears only if you have one or more assigned access groups or if you are an administrator and users on your Tenable Vulnerability Management are assigned to access groups. Once you convert all your access groups to permission configurations, the Access Group tile will no longer appear on your account.

To convert an access group into a permission configuration:

1. In the upper-left corner, click the button.

   The left navigation plane appears.

2. In the left navigation plane, click Settings.

   The Settings page appears.

3. Click the Access Groups tile.

   The Access Groups page appears. This page contains a table that lists the access groups to which you have access.

4. In the access groups table, select the check box for the access group you want to convert.

   The action bar appears at the top of the table.

5. Click Migrate To Permissions.

   A confirmation message appears.

6. In the confirmation window, click Migrate To Permissions.

   Tenable Vulnerability Management begins converting your access group into a permission configuration.

   Tenable Vulnerability Management updates the Status column for the access group to reflect the current migration status.
