docs(psirt): who can use PSIRT, and why the permission beats the role - #15741
Merged
Conversation
PSIRT admitted a superuser or a global Maintainer/Owner and nobody else, so the docs had nothing to say about access beyond the feature flag and the licence. With a PSIRT configuration permission now available, the page can say the thing that matters: prefer the permission, because a global Maintainer role is write access to every asset in the instance and granting it to hand somebody PSIRT hands them the rest of the product too. Covers the view/change split, that View is genuinely read-only, that the licence is checked before any of it and is not a permission, and that the permission only appears in the picker while the PSIRT flag is on.

Description
Documents who can use PSIRT, alongside a Pro change that adds a PSIRT configuration
permission.
Until now the module admitted a superuser or a global Maintainer/Owner and nobody
else, so the page had nothing to say about access beyond the feature flag and the
licence. With a PSIRT-specific permission available, the docs can say the thing that
actually matters: prefer the permission, because a global Maintainer role is write
access to every asset in the instance — granting it so somebody can read advisories
hands them the rest of the product too.
Covers:
PSIRT Advisory Engine entitlement the module is closed to everyone, superusers
included;
Docs-only: no code changes.
