Inventory - Agent permissions ↗

Abstract

Configure permissions for Endpoints (XDR Agent).

This section controls access to endpoint agent management, security policies, host firewalls, device controls, and agent lifecycles.

Caution

  • The Master switch: Setting Agent Administrations to View/Edit acts as a master switch that unlocks highly granular execution checkboxes (such as Agent Management, Pause Protection, and Agent Scan). Leaving these unchecked allows the user to view the administration without the ability to execute the actions.

  • High-Risk Operations:

    • Pause Protection temporarily disables malware and exploit prevention, leaving endpoints actively vulnerable to threats.

    • Token Revocation permanently disconnects agents until they are manually re-enrolled.

    • Global Exceptions bypass prevention policies and can create severe security blind spots; implement strict change management workflows
