**Summary**: How to give a user the Read Only role in Ivanti Neurons.

Users with the **Read Only** role can view information in Ivanti Neurons but are unable to make changes to the platform, including taking on vulnerability assignments. The Read Only role is useful for providing auditors or third parties access to the platform without providing the ability to modify or export platform data.

 To give a user the Read Only role, navigate to the **Organize > Users** page.
