How to Use the Pentest Viewer Role to Control Client Access
The Pentest Viewer role allows you to give your clients access to the Red Sentry platform while protecting sensitive information.
With this role, you can:
-
Hide contract and pricing details.
-
Restrict users to only the projects they should see.
-
Allow your clients to collaborate with the pentest team during pentest preparation, progress, and reporting
This user role is especially useful for MSPs, Partners, and teams managing multiple client engagements.
How to Add a Pentest Viewer User
Step 1: Add the user to your Team
-
Go to Team Settings → Users
-
Click Add User
-
Enter the client’s first name, last name and email address
Step 2: Assign the Pentest Viewer Role
-
In the Team Role dropdown, select Pentest Viewer
-
Click Submit

Step 3: Tell us which projects the user should have access to

-
After adding the user, share the list of projects they need access to.

You can do this by:
-
Contacting Red Sentry Support at support@redsentry.com
