Is it possible to allow a user to only see a single section in Lacework?

Recently I was asked by a someone if they could lock down the Lacework UI because they wanted their finance department to only see the licensing used page, so they could match the subscription to vCPU and their license usage.  The answer is YES.  You have granular control over the visibility of what a particular user can potentially access within the platform.

• The basic steps are, create a role that has only “read access to whatever you want them to access. (Login to lacework

  6. Select the Pages and level of access required for the role

• Create a user group and put that “role” in that group
  1. Navigate to Settings → User Groups in the “Access Control” Menu group

  5. Click the Next Button
  6. Select the users to be assigned to the new User group (place checkbox next to their user name - if the user does not exist, you can make no selection and just click the save button).
  7. Click the Save button
• Create or edit the user details so that they are associated with that user group with the limited role permissions.
