Portfolio Manager
A Portfolio Manager is the administrator. This user has access to all pages in the organization’s CAST Highlight instance. This role is assigned to the user or users at the organization who set up and maintain core aspects of the implementation. For example, the Portfolio Manager creates and manages other user accounts within the organization and is able to access the analysis results for all applications in the instance. The Portfolio Manager can view and manage every member’s user account – including changing their role – under the “Manage Users” tab in the Manage Portfolio section.
The Portfolio Manager also manages the scope of each assessment campaign, including which applications are analyzed and by whom, and oversees any customization of the survey.
The Portfolio Manager can download the CAST Highlight agent and, if desired, can analyze applications on behalf of application owners.
Domain Contributor
Domain Contributor have control over all the applications in a defined domain. They can upload scan results and answer surveys to all the applications in their domains. They have visibility on all application results of the domain. Since Domain Contributor role can be attached at the root level or any domain in the portfolio, it will be able to contribute to any apps below which will make application onboarding faster and smoother.
Domain Contributor role has significance when you have nothing to hide, results are visible across your user base: Simply assign all users as “Domain Contributors” at the root level of your portfolio. They will be able to see all app results, upload scan results, and answer surveys.
Domain Contributor role can also be assigned when you have nothing to hide within a defined scope of apps (ideally grouped into a domain): assign users as “Domain Contributors” within the corresponding domain they should be able to access.
Application Contributor
An Application Contributor is the role traditionally assigned to an application owner.
Contributors can download the CAST Highlight agent, analyze their application(s) and upload application results, answer survey questions and access the results for only their system(s).
Application Contributor role is relevant when application results should be restricted to app teams: in this case, assign users the “Application Contributor” role and attach them to the right application(s).
Domain Blind Contributors
When contributors can only contribute and should not see any results: this case is very specific and more often used by advisory firms in merger & acquisition contexts. Then users should be assigned the “Domain Blind Contributors” role. This role is not enabled by default.
Results Viewer
A Viewer is the role typically assigned to an executive member of the organization. Viewers can access the analysis results for all applications across the portfolio.
Viewers cannot download the CAST Highlight agent, analyze an application or complete survey questions.
