Getting started
If you are new to Strikepoint, start here before jumping into route-specific guides.What to expect after sign-in
After you sign in, you land in the authenticated dashboard. The sidebar is the fastest way to understand which parts of the product your account can use. Common destinations include:- Dashboard for analytics, recent engagements, and recent reports
- Customers for customer records and points of contact
- Engagements for live work, findings, endpoints, credentials, and report launch points
- Reports for one-off draft creation, report automation, review status, and publication tracking
- Support for FAQ, in-app workflow summaries, and ticket submission
- Account for profile updates, password changes, and two-factor authentication
Understand permission differences early
Examples:- You can view Reports only if your role includes engagement-detail visibility.
- You can create new report drafts only if your role can generate reports.
- You can manage Templates, Snippets, Teams, Team Members, or Playbooks only if your role is elevated enough for those libraries.
- You can open Security Tools only if you are authorized to use penetration-testing tools.
