New in Dradis Pro v3.8

Dradis Framework is a collaboration and reporting tool for information security teams to manage and deliver the results of security assessments, in less time and with less frustration than manual methods.

Per-Tool Permissions

Before Dradis Pro v3.8.0, Admins had access to everything and Authors had access to a subset of features. Now, you can give specific Author users permission to use the tools they need. And, you can give them just the level of access that they need.

Give each Author tool-specific permissions

Each Author can be given access to specific projects. And, for tools like the IssueLibrary, the Rules Engine, or premium tools like the Remediation Tracker, Authors can be given action-based permissions. Do you only want Author #1 to be able to Read IssueLibrary entries but not create, update, or destroy them? You can do that! Do you want Author #2 to have full control over the Rules Engine? You can do that too!

AffectedCount and AffectedList controls

We’ve had the Affected content control for a long time. The Affected control exports a de-duplicated list of comma-separated Nodes for a specific Issue. But, what about if you needed each de-duplicated Node on a new line or in a bullet list? Or, what if you need to count the number of affected Nodes for your Issue?

We’ve rolled out 2 new content controls: AffectedList and AffectedCount. As you can see in the before/after example below, the AffectedList will export the same data as the old Affected content control, just in a list format. And, the AffectedCount will output the number of unique Nodes that the Issue is associated with.

The AffectedList and AffectedCount content controls can be used in your Word report templates

Project List table

We’ve also updated the Projects page to help you find that one Project you’re looking for. Your most recent projects will appear at the top of the screen as always. But, at the bottom, there’s now a sortable and filterable table. Click the column headings to sort the table by that field. Click the 2 columns dropdown to display different fields. And, type in a keyword to filter the table and display a subset of Projects.

The Projects Page now contains a sortable and filterable table
