Agent Installations ↗

Abstract

Configure Agent Installation permissions.

Manages the deployment of XDR agents, such as downloading agent installation packages, viewing installation status and history, and tracking deployment progress.

For more information, see Create an agent installation package.

Caution

Installation tokens provide access to deploy agents. Protect tokens carefully and implement token rotation policies. Consider limiting View/Edit access to dedicated deployment personnel.

Permissions

Description

Roles Example

View
