Account preferences permissions by role and by action

Account preferences control whether Bitsight automatically rescans findings after they are remediated, whether issue statuses are shared, and whether infrastructure tags are inherited from a parent asset. A user's role determines who can change these preferences. This article lists the account preferences 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.
