# Create a Read-Only User for Security Insights in Secure

Retain a secure Salesforce environment and reduce the risk of unwanted changes to security settings by designating users as read-only. Give stakeholders access to security insights and permission to download lens-related data, without the ability to run jobs, configure risk ratings, or update scoring policies.

Admins can create a read-only user by assigning the "Own Secure Security Insights Read Only" permission set. These users should be created using the default Standard or Read-Only equivalent Salesforce users profiles to avoid any unnecessary risk. Audit, Compliance, and InfoSec users typically do not require full access to perform their duties.

1. Create a user in Salesforce.
2. Assign the "Own Secure Security Insights Read Only" permission set to the new user.
3. Navigate to the App Manager in Setup for Own Secure and ensure that it is assigned to the profile assigned to the user.
4. Sign in as the user and navigate to Secure.
5. Security Insights should be the only available tab. Select Security Insights.
    
    A banner is displayed for read-only users.

If a user is not properly configured, they may encounter a User Access Issue modal. For read-only users, this occurs when the "SI Admin" permission has been assigned. To resolve this access issue, remove the "SI Admin" permission.
