Application roles

Application roles give users permissions and capabilities within a particular application. Application roles are assigned to access groups.

Use these application roles to grant permissions and capabilities within an application:

View

The View role for applications (Application Viewer) has read-only access to the Contrast interface to see scores, libraries, vulnerabilities and comments, but cannot perform edits to traces to the application.

Edit

The Edit role for applications (Application Editor) can remediate findings, add tags, manage vulnerabilities, edit attributes, merge applications, add or delete applications, and create servers. The majority of Contrast users have this role.
