    • Duplicate and modify an existing role.
    • Add a new role:

      1. At the top of the table, click Add Role.

        The Add Role page appears.

      2. In the Name box, type a name for your custom role.

      3. (Optional) In the Description box, type a description for your custom role.

      4. Determine the applications to which the custom role has access:

        1. In the left panel, click the application name.

          An Enable toggle appears.

        2. Click the Enable toggle to enable or disable access to this application for the custom role you're creating.

          For some applications, privileges associated with the application appear.

        3. Select the checkbox for each privilege you want to add to your custom role. For more information about available privileges, see Custom Roles.

      5. Click Save.

        Tenable Vulnerability Management saves the role and adds it to the roles table.
