Manage Users
The Users section allows administrators to effectively control user access and permissions within the platform. From this section, you can understand user roles and administrative capabilities, create new users, view detailed user information, modify existing user details, and delete users when necessary. This functionality ensures proper access control and streamlined user administration across the organization.
Understand User Roles and Administrative Capabilities
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Super Admin | During the initial onboarding of an enterprise, a Super Admin role is automatically created. The Super Admin has full administrative privileges, which include the ability to create and manage organizations and accounts, as well as carry out all administrative operations across Saner tools. Note: While the Super Admin can create additional admin users, the Super Admin role itself cannot be transferred to another user within Saner. |
| Admin | The admin user has complete access to create organizations and accounts and perform all types of administrative tasks using Saner tools. Note: While the Admin can create users, the Admin role itself cannot be transferred to another user within Saner. |
| Organization Manager | An organization manager has complete access to an organization and can perform all administrative tasks |
| Account Manager | An account manager has complete access to an account and can perform administrative tasks with an account. |
| Standard User (Full Access) | A standard user can perform operations such as Create, Modify, and Delete using the tools provisioned for access. However, a standard user cannot access the Control Panel to perform tasks such as User Management, Deployment, and Settings. |
| Standard User (Read-Only) | A standard user with read-only access can only perform read-only operations using Saner tools. This type of user cannot perform operations such as Create, Modify, and Delete using any Saner tools. Also, these users don’t have access to the Control Panel page to perform tasks related to User Management, Deployment, and Settings. |

Deployment
Saner’s Deployment section contains features that allow you to discover devices on your network and import devices using a JSON/CSV file or from an Active Directory environment.
At the same time, the Deployment section provides Saner Agent installers for different operating systems platforms. It provides an Offline Deployer tool that can be used to deploy Saner Agents on devices.
Also, the Deployment section has Saner Network Scanner – that helps you to identify vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across all IP-enabled devices in your network.
Device Discovery

The Device Discovery Scanner helps identify devices that exist within your network. By specifying a single IP address or a range of IP addresses, the scanner searches the network to detect available devices. Once the scan is complete, all discovered devices are displayed on the Device Discovery page, providing visibility into the devices present in your network.
Additionally, you can configure the periodic discovery scan to run Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.
By gaining visibility into the discovered hosts, along with their operating systems, administrators can take further actions such as scanning, deployment, or inventory management.
Before You Begin
- Understand that Device Discovery depends on configured scanners and network accessibility.
- Make sure you have an active Saner Network Scanner in your account to utilize the device discovery feature. For instructions on how to designate a device as a network scanner, refer to the Saner Network Scanner Userguide.
- Make sure to setup the credentials and scanner configurations correctly for accurate discovery results.
- Note that the system allows only those user roles(Admin/Super Admin/Organization Manager/Account Manager) having appropriate permissions to initiate discovery or perform actions on devices
Get Started
Access Device discovery by following the listed steps:
Step1: Log in to Saner platform with administrative privileges.
Step2: Navigate to Control Panel.
Step3: From the left-hand-side navigation pane, choose the organization and account in which you want to set up the device discovery.
Step4: Specify the tool as CVEM by choosing from the drop-down menu.
Step5: Under the Discovery menu, select Device Discovery.
The Discovered Devices page opens displaying a tabular list of all devices identified through discovery scans.
What Do the Columns on Discovered Devices Page Mean?

| Column | Description |
| Hostname | The hostname of the discovered device. If unavailable, the IP address may be shown. |
| IP Address | The network IP address of the discovered host. |
| Operating System | The operating system detected on the device (for example, Ubuntu, Windows, and macOS). |
| Ports | Provides port-related details for the device. Clicking the icon displays open or discovered ports. |
Initiate an On-Demand Discovery Scan Based on Configured Settings

From the Discovered Devices page, click the Discovery Now button. The Discovery Now window opens and allows administrators to manually initiate an on-demand device discovery by selecting a scanner, defining target IP ranges, and optionally providing authentication credentials.
Select Scanner to Perform Discovery
The scanner name and its IP address display in the drop-down for easy identification. Choose the appropriate scanner from the drop-down menu. Note that only active and configured scanners display in the drop-down for selection.
Configure Targets
Use the Targets section to define the devices or IP ranges for discovery. To add a Target, click + Add Target button to include multiple IPs or ranges.
Provide IP
- Enter a single IP (for example, 172.16.11.72)
- A range (for example, 172.16.11.72-75) or
- CIDR notation, if supported by your configuration
Specify Authentication Options
Authenticated discovery retrieves accurate operating system details, hostname, and additional system information. Select one of the following options from the drop-down menu:
- No: This option performs unauthenticated discovery to identify host availability and basic information.
- Yes: This option helps find the accurate hostname, OS name and ports with authentication.
Authentication Details (When Enabled)
