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.

  • Can edit selectable frameworks
  • Shows the items you own in the Taskbook view
  • You can accept the instructions in the Guidebook view

Team

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
  • Team members cannot: Edit Settings page, Share reports, Edit Trust Center settings, Grant support access, Delete users or reassign items, Invite users, Order Cyberday, or Install the Slack app.

Contributors

Access to Taskbook + Guidebook. Can edit content they own or are related to.

The base user can be named as the owner of the tasks to be performed or documented, and he can view / edit these from their own Taskbook view.

  • Shows the items you own in the Taskbook view
  • You can accept the instructions in the Guidebook view
  • Cannot access the Organization Dashboard view. If you need access to the Dashboard, please ask an administrator to upgrade your user role.

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. To access other views, please ask an administrator to upgrade your user role.
Employees only have access to Guidebook

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 separate external users, who are doing i.e. audits.

We recommend inviting the auditor with the Employee role and sharing the most important audit-relevant reports as a report collection. With the Employee role, the auditor can access the Guidebook and report collections.

As an alternative way to share information, you can grant the auditor access to the Organization Dashboard by inviting them with the Team role.

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.
