Managing access for Comply users

In order to add a new local user in Comply, log into the Puppet Enterprise (PE) console associated with your Comply instance. Your user in PE must have the ability to create and edit user roles. Follow the instructions found in the PE documentation at https://www.puppet.com/docs/pe/2023.2/rbac_user_roles_intro.html#create_a_new_user to add a new user and assign them to one of the three provided default Comply roles.

The following table explains the permissions included by default for each role:
