Role-based permissions
This feature was implemented as part of the Standoff Bug Bounty project.
It is aimed at improving the user experience on the platform by allowing interaction without requiring the involvement of a platform administrator.

About
Enabling enterprise clients to control sensitive data access with flexible role-based permissions.
The Role-Based Access feature in Standoff Bug Bounty allows vendor companies to define user roles with granular control over their bug bounty programs. Instead of relying on platform administrators for manual access distribution, companies can now independently assign rights — from full administrative access to restricted permissions like managing reports or viewing payouts.
The interface supports managing access for both individual users and entire user groups, enabling companies to scale internal operations while maintaining control and security across programs and vendors.
Feature development process
To empower vendor teams with flexible access control, we designed a role-based permission system integrated into the admin panel.
Goal
Create an interface that allows vendor companies to manage access to bug bounty programs and sensitive data:
Assign roles like Admin, Moderator, or Viewer
Control access to specific programs and permissions (reports, payments, disclosures)
Manage user groups and individual access settings
Enable invite-based onboarding with flexible rights setup
Process
After the strategy was approved by the product manager, a business analyst gathered input from stakeholders, including permission scenarios and organizational needs. Based on this input, I designed the logic for permissions distribution at the UI level.
I created and presented the first interface concept to developers and stakeholders. Once approved, I designed workflows for:
Adding users with assigned roles and program visibility
Editing user-level permissions across modules
Creating access groups and batch-configuring program access
Displaying all access levels per user or per program in a single overview
Key Challenge
The biggest challenge was translating complex permission logic into a user-friendly interface — especially when dealing with overlapping rights from groups and individual assignments. We solved this through clear hierarchy, preview logic, and real-time visibility of granted permissions.
Result
Result
By introducing role-based access, we shifted permission control from platform admins to the vendor teams themselves.
The interface enables users to:
Assign full or partial access to bug bounty programs and vendors
Create reusable permission groups and assign them to users
Manage user access down to individual modules (reports, rewards, disclosure)
See who has access to what — at both program and user levels
Invite and onboard external or internal collaborators securely
The feature is now actively used by enterprise clients and reduces operational bottlenecks while keeping sensitive security data in trusted hands.
