Summary

Announcing customized role-based access controls for Snyk Snyk has introduced a new customizable role-based access control (RBAC) model, allowing Group Admins to create their own custom roles and assign specific permissions to them. This feature is designed to provide the right people with the right access to the right resources at the right time, aligning with an organization's internal structure and access policies. The new RBAC model builds upon the principle of least privilege and provides flexibility in managing Snyk access within organizations. Key features include easy-to-use role creation, flexible permission assignment, service account support, and customized SSO setup. This update aims to empower developers to take more responsibility for securing their applications while enabling security teams to guide them through the process, striking a fine balance between security and developer productivity. The new feature is available on the Enterprise plan, with future improvements planned to include group-level permissions, multi-group support, and API support.
