Account Setup
This guide covers creating your Detectify account, configuring authentication, and inviting team members.
Creating Your Account
- Go to the Detectify signup page and enter your business email address.
- Verify your email by clicking the confirmation link sent to your inbox.
- Complete your profile by providing your organization name and basic details.
- You are now the account owner with full administrative privileges.
Authentication Options
Email and Password
By default, all users sign in with their email and password. We strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) for all accounts. You can enable 2FA from Settings > Security.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Detectify supports SAML 2.0-based SSO, allowing your team to authenticate through your organization’s identity provider. To configure SSO:
- Navigate to Settings > Authentication > SSO.
- Enter your identity provider’s metadata URL or upload the metadata XML file.
- Configure the SAML attribute mappings for email and display name.
- Test the connection to verify that authentication works correctly.
- Optionally, enforce SSO so that all users in your organization must sign in through your identity provider.
SSO is available on Enterprise plans. Contact your account representative to enable it.
Inviting Team Members
To invite colleagues to your Detectify account:
- Go to Settings > Team Members.
- Click Invite Member and enter the email address of the person you want to invite.
- Assign a role to the new member (see roles below).
- The invitee receives an email with a link to join your team.
You can invite multiple people at once by entering several email addresses separated by commas.
Roles and Permissions
Detectify uses role-based access control (RBAC) to manage what each team member can do.
| Role | Description |
|---|---|
| Owner | Full access to all settings, billing, team management, and scan configuration. One owner per account. |
| Admin | Can manage team members, configure scans, add and remove assets, and view all findings. Cannot change billing or transfer ownership. |
| Member | Can view assets, run scans, and review findings. Cannot manage team members or change account settings. |
| Read-only | Can view assets and findings but cannot start scans or modify any configuration. |
Multi-Team Support
For organizations that need to separate assets and findings across departments or business units, Detectify supports multi-team environments. Each team operates with its own set of assets, scan configurations, and findings while sharing a single billing account.
To create a new team:
- Go to Settings > Teams.
- Click Create Team and provide a team name.
- Assign members to the team and configure their roles.
Team members can belong to multiple teams with different roles in each. Assets and findings are scoped to their respective teams, ensuring that each group only sees what is relevant to them.
Next Steps
Once your account is set up and your team is in place, proceed to add your assets so you can begin scanning.
