If you require a Nessus user account to have scanning restrictions placed on it, use the command-line interface (CLI)
covered later in this document in the “Using and Managing Nessus from the Command Line” section.
Create and Manage Nessus Enterprise User Roles and Groups
Nessus Enterprise has an extensive set of user and group roles that allow for granular sharing of policies, schedules, and
scan results. In the Settings under “Accounts”, you will be able to configure both users and groups.
Users in Nessus Enterprise can be managed via an LDAP server or with Nessus Enterprise. Instructions on configuring
LDAP are under the LDAP Server section of this document.
Like Nessus, Nessus Enterprise allows you to create new users and passwords. Users in Nessus Enterprise have four
roles available instead of the two available in Nessus.
