THREATQ REQUIRED PERMISSIONS

Default ThreatQ Role: Administrative or Maintenance
Custom Role - Action Permissions: Administrative Functions - Edit System Configurations

The Require Disclaimer Acceptance section of the Account Security tab allows system administrators to enable a custom message displayed to all users when logging into the ThreatQ Platform. When enabled, ThreatQ users are required to review and accept the message.

In order to comply with government regulations, a customer could configure a custom banner to display a message during login requiring users to accept additional privacy and security terms.

Banner Behavior

The Require Disclaimer Acceptance toggle allows you to enable/disable the display of the custom banner.

Require Disclaimer Acceptance Toggle

When the toggle is disabled:

  • The banner title and body are visible to administrators in the Account Security tab, but the banner is not displayed to users upon log in.
  • Users can access to the platform using only their credentials

When the toggle is enabled:

  • After a user enters their login and password, the custom banner displays.  Users must click the Accept and Continue button to access the platform.
  • If a user closes the banner without clicking the Accept and Continue button, he  is returned to the login screen and cannot access the platform until he clicks the Accept and Continue button.

    Users are required to click the Accept and Continue button each time they log into platform.

  • If a user is logged out and enters a URL for a specific page in the platform, the custom banner is displayed and he must click the Accept and Continue button to access the specified page.
