Note: This section describes the new Tenable.io interface. For information about the classic interface, see Users (Classic Interface). For information about navigating the new interface, see Navigate the New Tenable.io Interface.

User accounts enable you to provide access to Tenable.io and manage permissions for Tenable.io resources. Only administrators can create and manage user accounts.

To access the Users page, click Settings in the left navigation plane, then click the Users widget.

The Users page displays a table of all Tenable.io user accounts. This documentation refers to that table as the users table.

Each row of the users table includes the user name, the dates of the last login and last failed login attempt, the total number of failed attempts, and the role assigned to the account.

To control a user's permissions in Tenable.io, you can assign roles to user accounts. The following table briefly describes the available user roles and related permissions. For detailed permissions information, see User Role Permissions.

Name	Description
Basic	Can only view scan results and manage their user profile.
Scan Operator	Can create and run scans, but may only use existing scan policies that were created by a standard user or higher. They can also analyze scan results and create user target groups.
Standard	In addition to scan operator privileges, can create policies to be used with scans.
Scan Manager	In addition to standard user privileges, can manage scanners, agents, and exclusions.
Administrator	Has all permissions, is responsible for setting up the account, and knows the organization's architecture. They can create groups to organize different business units, and add and manage users on the account.

Note: You can disable a user account to prevent a user from accessing Tenable.io . When you disable a user account, Tenable.io retains the user role assigned to that user.

You can change the role of a user account at any time, as well as disable the account.
