Up to 128 users can access IWSVA using assigned access rights. When in the application, users can make configuration changes that are recorded in the audit log (see Audit Log).
If you have a team of security administrators who are responsible for different functions and who might also have help desk privileges, then assigning them access rights can be beneficial to your organization. To manage IWSVA, these users can have different logon credentials with different privileges.
Access rights can also give you the ability to audit what is being changed in IWSVA. If you have the need to comply with certain government agency standards, then this function can be critical.
