Subscriptions permissions by role and by action

A subscription gives your organization access to an entity in the Bitsight inventory, such as a company, client, or country-industry. The inventory holds entities that Bitsight has mapped and that are active in the platform. A user's role determines who can view subscription data, modify subscriptions, add countries to the National Cybersecurity portfolio, and use Current Ratings licenses. For the procedure, see How to Modify Your Subscriptions. This article lists the subscription permissions for each role and for each action.

Roles referenced on this page: Users with the Admin, Group Admin, Portfolio Manager, Operations, Internal Business User, User, or View Only role.
