Task

  1. Click Menu → Data Protection → FRP keys.
  2. Click Actions → Create a New Key.
  3. Enter a name and description for the key.
  4. Select Never expire key or set an expiration date as needed.
  5. If you are using Role Based Key Management, choose an appropriate role from the Roles drop-down list. If you do not select a role or do not use Role Based Key Management, all Trellix ePO - On-prem administrators will have access to the created key based on key server permission configuration.

    Note

    If role selection is not made, the key is associated with the default role and all key administrators including the global Trellix ePO - On-prem administrator have access to these keys.

  6. Click OK.
