User Groups

User groups allow you to manage user permissions for various resources in Tenable Vulnerability Management. When you assign users to a group, the users inherit the permissions assigned to the group. Your organization may utilize groups to provide permissions to batches of users based on the roles of those users and your organization's security posture.

To view your user groups:

  1. In the left navigation, click Settings.

    The Settings page appears.

  2. Click the Access Control tile.

    The Access Control page appears. On this page, you can control user and group access to resources in your Tenable Vulnerability Management account.

  3. Click the Groups tab.

    The Groups page appears.

The User Groups page displays a table of all user groups in your Tenable Vulnerability Management instance. This documentation refers to that table as the user groups table.
