Teams let you invite colleagues to collaborate on security testing projects. Team members share your subscription resources while maintaining separate accounts, and you control what each person can access.
Teams is available on paid plans (NetSec, WebNetSec, and Pentest Suite).

​
Team structure

The owner and team members control each other’s access to shared workspaces and resources by granting view or edit permission.

​
Inviting team members

The account owner and the team members can invite new members. Only the owner is able to delete users and invitations.
1

Navigate to Team

Go to Team in the sidebar.
2

Click Invite

Click the Invite button.
3

Enter email

Enter the email address of the person you want to invite. The invitation can only be accepted by someone without an existing Pentest-Tools account.
4

Send invitation

The invitee gets an email with an activation link. They set their own name and password when they activate.
Invited users must activate before they can access the platform. Until then, they appear as pending in your team list. Invitations expire after one month. To cancel a pending invitation, go to the Invitations tab on the Team page.
Invitations can only be accepted by people who don’t already have a Pentest-Tools account. Existing account holders cannot join a team this way.

​
Sharing with team members

From a single sharing page, you can configure access to both workspaces and resources for selected team members.

2

Select the team members to remove.
3

Click Delete

Click the Delete button.
4

Choose content handling

Choose whether to transfer the member’s workspaces and scan data to your account, or delete everything. Either way, engagements, report templates, and scheduled scans are removed.

If a team member has running or waiting scans, you must stop them before removing the member.

​
Best practices

Create workspaces for different projects or clients, then share only the relevant workspaces with each team member.
Grant View access initially, then upgrade to Edit when team members need to run scans or make changes.
Periodically review who has access to what, especially when team members change roles or leave.
When someone leaves the team, remove their access immediately.
