Roles & Permissions

Catchify uses a role-based access system to ensure each team member sees and does only what they need to. This keeps your security data organized and prevents accidental changes by team members who do not need full access.

Available Roles

There are two main roles in Catchify:

Manager

Managers have full access to everything in the portal. This role is designed for security leaders, CISOs, and team leads who need complete visibility and control.

Managers can:

  • View all projects, findings, and reports

  • Manage bug bounty programs

  • Approve quotes and view invoices

  • Invite and manage team members

  • Configure integrations

  • Request retests

  • Access the wallet and manage payments

Member

Members have customizable access based on the specific permissions you assign. This role is ideal for developers, project managers, compliance staff, and other team members who need access to specific parts of the portal.

Only Managers can change roles and permissions for other team members. If you need your permissions updated, ask a Manager on your team.

Here are some common permission configurations for different roles in your organization:

Best Practices

  • Follow the principle of least privilege -- Give each team member only the permissions they need for their job

  • Review permissions quarterly -- As roles change within your organization, update portal permissions accordingly

  • Have at least two Managers -- Ensure you have a backup Manager in case one is unavailable

  • Document your setup -- Keep an internal record of who has what access and why
