      Since there are hundreds of such tools, the generic answer would be you do so in the tool your company provides. Example: https://www.qatouch.com/blog/how-to-set-up-roles-permissions-in-qa-touch/

      User Permission Management in Testing Tools: Balancing Access and Security

      In the realm of software testing, managing user permissions within testing tools is paramount to achieving a delicate equilibrium between access and security. This intricate process involves delineating user roles, crafting access levels, and tailoring custom permissions to match specific requirements. Integrating with identity providers like LDAP or SSO streamlines authentication, while audit trails safeguard against unauthorized activities.

      Project-based access grants users pertinent permissions in alignment with their involvement in distinct projects. Leveraging permission inheritance optimizes efficiency by cascading permissions from parent objects down to more granular elements. Revoking access when roles change or are no longer needed is a proactive step towards maintaining a secure environment.

      For heightened data privacy, some tools offer encryption and redacted views, particularly crucial when handling sensitive testing data. Routine audits of permissions guarantee ongoing alignment with evolving project needs and personnel adjustments.

      Transparency is achieved through well-structured training and comprehensive documentation, enabling team members to navigate the intricacies of permission management adeptly. By embracing these practices, teams can harness the full potential of testing tools while safeguarding against unauthorized access and ensuring data integrity.
