You can invite a guest administrator to manage your Drata account if you work with a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), a virtual CISO, or operate as a self-managed business unit with a centralized security and compliance team that requires access.
Prerequisites
Only users with a Drata Admin role can invite guest administrators.
Guest administrators have full access to the Drata application, equivalent to Admin roles.
For security reasons, guest administrators can be invited only from approved email domains. To add a new domain, contact the Drata Customer Success Team.
Personal email addresses cannot be used to invite guest administrators.
After an invitation is sent, guest administrators may not have access for up to one hour. Invitations are processed during a scheduled data sync.
Invite a guest administrator
On the Role Administration page, scroll down and select the Guest administrators card.
Enter an email address of the guest administrator you would like to invite, and select the “Invite” button.
Double confirm.
After you send the invitation, the guest administrator receives an email. They must accept the invitation to complete setup. Until then, their status in Drata appears as Pending name set up.
Guest administrators may not have access to your account immediately. A scheduled data sync processes invitations, and access may take up to one hour.
Remove a guest administrator
On the Role Administration page, scroll down and select the Guest administrators card.
Search for the guest administrator in the table and select the 'X' next to the their name.
Double confirm.
