For market research and insights teams, ensuring secure and compliant user provisioning is essential. Adapting to new project demands without robust access controls can expose vulnerabilities and compromise transparency—ultimately putting research integrity at risk. At Rival, we’re dedicated to solving these challenges with features that simplify user management, enhance security, and ensure compliance every step of the way. 

Let's take a closer look at our new feature, and how they streamline your research process. 

User Management & Provisioning: Access management for your team 

Rival is excited to announce a powerful new feature: User Provisioning. Designed to streamline team management, this feature allows administrators to easily create, manage, and assign user roles with customized permissions, ensuring that each team member has the right level of access to the platform. 

User provisioning significantly speeds up onboarding for new users. It also enhances security & safeguards sensitive insights, by controlling access to research data and features, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. 

With this new functionality, Rival users can now focus on what matters most—gathering insights and making data-driven decisions—while we handle the complexity of secure user management. Whether you're managing a small team or a large organization, Rival's user provisioning feature makes access management effortless and secure, helping you maintain a smooth, efficient and compliant workflow that's needed for competitive decision-making.  

Let’s take a closer look at Rival’s latest feature – user provisioning developed with the aim of simplifying and strengthening access management by giving platform administrators control over team permissions 

Here’s how this feature can benefit your research team: 

  • Four Distinct User Roles  
    • With four customizable roles: Platform Administrator, Research Domain Administrator, Research Domain User, and Research Domain Viewer, this structure provides users the specific access they need, while ensuring data security and integrity.
  • Enhanced Security and SOC2 Compliance
      
    • By managing roles directly from within the Rival platform, research teams can reduce dependency on external support and strengthen their SOC2 compliance. With enhanced security and access control, your data is more protected than ever.
