- Roles determine what a user can do across the whole platform.
- Permission groups determine what a member can do inside a specific workspace.
Roles
OASM defines three platform-wide roles. A role affects what a user can do across the console.When should I use the bot role?
When should I use the bot role?
Use the Bot role for machine and service accounts that need automated access, for example workers that pull scan jobs or API clients. Bot accounts are not tied to a human and are typically combined with the workspace API key.
List users
1
Navigate to Users
Open the Users section from the console.
2
Browse the table
The table lists Name, Email, Role, and Status for every account.
Create a new user
1
Click Add
The Add button opens the creation dialog.
2
Enter the account details
Fill in Name, Email, and Password. The password must be at least 8 characters.
3
Select a role
Choose either User or Admin from the role options.
4
Create the user
Submit the form. The new user can sign in immediately after creation.
View user details
Open a user in the list to see the detail dialog, which contains two tabs:- Overview — the user’s account information and status.
- Raw JSON — the underlying account record, useful for troubleshooting.
Change a user’s role
Roles are changed from the user detail dialog. Select a new role from the dropdown — the change takes effect immediately. Changing a user to Admin grants full platform access, including user management, so assign this role deliberately.Ban a user
Banned users cannot sign in to OASM. Banning does not delete the account or its history, which makes it the recommended way to remove access while preserving auditability.There is no delete user option in OASM. To permanently remove access, ban the user instead. If you need to preserve a record of actions for compliance, see the audit log.
Best practices
- Assign the Admin role only to users who manage the platform — admin includes user management and full access.
- Use the User role for regular members and control workspace access through permission groups.
- Use the Bot role for automated access instead of sharing human credentials.
- Enforce passwords of 8 characters or more; the console enforces this minimum at creation.
- Ban users who leave the team or no longer require access instead of leaving stale accounts active.
