Account Admin Settings & Guidance – Paramify

Account Level Management

Account level Admins in Paramify have administrator access to the account level and below. They can manage workspace settings, user access, and use data import features. They can create, view, edit, and delete Risk Solutions, Elements, and Projects. What makes them unique compared to other roles is that they have complete control and access to the following sections in the Paramify App at the Account level.

Manage workspace settings
Control user access and permissions
Create, edit, and delete users and teams
Create, edit, and delete Controls, Evidence, Control Parameters, and Risk Profiles
Assign roles and manage team memberships
Use data import features

Admins have full, unrestricted access to these security-related settings, and all their activities are tracked for transparency.

These Admin settings are important because they enforce the Principle of Least Privilege and ensure centralized accountability over the system's security posture. By limiting these high-risk capabilities to a controlled group of top-level administrators, the platform prevents "privilege creep" and unauthorized access shifts, while maintaining a strict chain of custody for sensitive data entering the environment.

The account level Admin configuration page looks like the following:

Data Import Features

Admins in Paramify have the ability to import many types of data inside the Paramify App. Below are the types of importing data that Admins at the Workspace Level can do:

Import POAMs from FedRAMP templates (CSV and XLSX)
Globally import and export Inventory
Import Elements
Import project files
Upload vulnerability scan files (JSON/XML/Nessus) via API

These features help streamline data management and risk tracking across compliance projects.

These capabilities are important for Admins to have so that they have control over what data goes inside the Paramify Workspace.
