Qualitia implements role-based security for users. Roles are based on functionality of users like Testers, Automation Test Engineers, and so on. Appropriate privileges are assigned to the roles.

Qualitia Automation Studio (QAS) contains the following five pre-defined roles assigned with specific Qualitia privileges:

  • Admin
  • Custom Action
  • Project Manager
  • Test Lead
  • Tester

You can create a custom role using the Qualitia's  pre-defined privileges.

The minimum database privileges required for a Qualitia user with an Admin or a Non-Admin role are shown in the following table.
