Restrict Access to a Test Role Using RBAC

📖 If you're new to Test Roles, start with Create a Test Role.

You can now restrict access to test roles based on user roles (RBAC). This gives you fine-grained control over who can view or use a particular test role.

This is especially useful in collaborative environments where different teams (e.g., Security, QA, DevOps) need access to different sets of tests.

✅ Steps to Restrict Test Role Access by User Role

1. Go to Test Roles

   • Navigate to API Security Testing → Test Roles.

2. Create or Edit a Test Role

   • You can either create a new Test Role or edit an existing one.

3. Set Scope Role

   • In the Test Role configuration form, locate the dropdown labeled "Scope Role".

   • Select one or more user roles from the list.

   • Only users with the selected roles will be able to view or apply this Test Role during testing.

4. Save

   • Click Save to update the Test Role with the new RBAC restrictions.

🔒 What Happens After Setting a Scope Role?

• Users without the selected roles will not see the Test Role in their list.

• They also won't be able to select the Test Role when triggering a test.

• Admins and Super Admins retain visibility over all Test Roles by default.

🧪 Example Use Case

• QA Team: Create a test role named “Regression Suite” and assign it a scope role of QA.

• Security Team: Set up a test role named “Critical Security Checks” and assign it to the Security scope role.
