Editing & Updating Users in AXQA
User roles and responsibilities evolve over time. AXQA allows administrators to update user details, adjust permissions, and modify project access while maintaining security and execution integrity.
As part of the AXQA Execution Intelligence Platform, user role updates follow a structured role-based access control (RBAC) model. Permission changes are validated instantly and applied to future actions without altering historical execution data.
Why it matters
- Keeps access aligned with current responsibilities.
- Prevents outdated permissions from creating risk.
- Supports team growth and role transitions.
- Maintains structured governance across projects.
What can be updated
- User basic information (name, email).
- User type (internal or client).
- Role level and permissions.
- Assigned projects and visibility scope.
When to update a user
- A tester becomes a project lead.
- A team member moves to a different project.
- A client requires expanded or restricted access.
- Permissions need to be tightened for compliance reasons.
Note
AXQA enforces permission checks at execution time, ensuring that updated users cannot perform actions beyond their newly assigned scope.
How it works
- Open User Management.
- Select the user you wish to update.
- Adjust the necessary details or permissions.
- Save changes.
- New permissions take effect immediately.
Impact on existing work
- Historical execution data remains unchanged.
- Previously completed test runs stay recorded.
- Updated permissions apply only to future actions.
Note
Changing a user’s role does not modify past activity or execution history.
Best practices
- Review permissions periodically, especially after role changes.
- Remove project access when users transition away.
- Document role changes for internal governance.
- Limit administrative privileges to trusted roles only.
Common mistakes
❌ Leaving elevated permissions after a role change
✔ Immediately adjust access when responsibilities shift.
❌ Granting admin rights too broadly
✔ Restrict high-level permissions to essential personnel only.
Security & compliance
- Only authorized administrators can modify user permissions.
- Permission updates are validated before execution actions.
- Project visibility rules are enforced at all times.
Note
User permission updates in AXQA are audit-friendly and designed to support compliance-driven environments.
