​
Overview

The Public Asset Catalog allows companies to share controlled access to asset data outside the main Snapsec portal.
This enables teams, partners, or external auditors to view and search assets, vulnerabilities, or exposure data without requiring platform login credentials. It’s ideal for providing transparent visibility while maintaining strict edit permissions and audit trails.

​
Purpose

The goal of the Public Catalog is to make asset intelligence accessible to distributed or external teams while retaining ownership and data security.
  • 🔍 Search & View Assets — Users can search by domain, IP, repository, or keyword to view relevant asset records.
  • 📊 Transparency — Ideal for vendor assessments, audit reviews, and public collaboration.
  • ✏️ Controlled Edits — Optionally enable external contributors to edit asset fields (like owner or environment) without full portal access.
  • 🔐 Secure Access — Links are unique and permission-restricted, ensuring limited scope visibility.

​
How to Set It Up

Open AIM Settings

Go to Settings in the AIM sidebar.

Locate Global Asset Search

Under Global Asset Search, you’ll find a public URL link that allows external access.

Enable Edit Access (Optional)

Copy the link under Edit Asset, which allows authorized users to update asset information.

Share the Link

Share the generated URLs with your organization, external teams, or partners for read or edit access.

​
Using the Public Asset Catalog

Once the public link is opened, users can search by entering domains, IPs, or repository names.
The results show asset details like risk scores, vulnerabilities, relationships, tags, and associated owners.

​
Sharing with Team Members

You can share either of the following links based on your use case:

​
Best Practices

  • Limit public link sharing to trusted users or teams.
  • Use the read-only link for transparency and reporting.
  • Periodically regenerate or disable old links to maintain access control.
  • Track edits through audit logs for accountability.
