User management: Different user roles in Cyberday

People who use Cyberday are divided into different user groups with different rights. This article goes through the purposes of different user levels.

Admins

Access to Organization Dashboard + Taskbook + Guidebook. Can edit all content. Can manage account-level settings.

The founder of an organization's Cyberday account becomes the first Admin. The administrator can e.g. manage other users and select the requirements frameworks that guide the work of the organization.

Admin in Cyberday

  • Can manage other users and settings in the Organization Dashboard view
  • Can edit selectable frameworks
  • Shows the items you own in the Taskbook view
  • You can accept the instructions in the Guidebook view

Team

Access to Dashboard + Taskbook + Guidebook. Can edit all content.

Team member in Cyberday:

  • Access to the Organization Dasboard view
  • Can't see admin functions on the organization's dashboard (see Admins)
  • Shows the items you own in the Taskbook view
  • You can accept the instructions in the Guidebook view

Contributors

Access to Taskbook + Guidebook. Can edit content they own.

When a new user is added to Cyberday, they become a contributor by default. The base user can be named as the owner of the tasks to be performed or documented, and he can view / edit these from his own Taskbook view.

Contributor in Cyberday

  • Shows the items you own in the Taskbook view
  • You can accept the instructions in the Guidebook view
  • Cannot access the Organization Dashboard view. The basic user is instructed to request a legal change from the administrators if they wish.

Employee

Access to Guidebook. Can't own items.

Every user in your organization's Teams environment who has either installed or assigned a Cyberday application to their own Teams environment as an administrator will be added as an employee from Cyberday's perspective.

Employee in Cyberday

  • Can accept guidelines in Guidebook view
  • By default, you cannot access other views, but you can request access to them if you wish

An access request can be accepted by one of the administrators on the organization's Dashboard.

External User

We currently have three different types of external users for different purposes:

Partner

We are having different partners, mainly consulting companies, who are working together with an organization directly in Cyberday. Partners can own tasks and themes. They can actively participate in the organizations security work, based on the rights the organization gives the Partner.

Auditor

An auditor cannot be set as an owner and will not be counted in any of the statistics, such as in the guidelines acceptance statistics. This is usually used to seperate external users, who are doing i.e. audits.

External

"Other" external users cannot be set as an owner for tasks or themes.
This is for example used for a manager who is interested sin i.e. viewing, but not editing reports and who does otherwise not actively participate in the work in Cyberday.
