What are trusted users?

Prev Next

A trusted user is an authorized user with updater permissions to dynamically add to the allow list.

You can add users as updaters to allow users to perform update operations on a protected system. For example, add administrators as trusted users to allow them to install or update any software. While adding the user information, you can also provide the domain details.

Important

Of all strategies that allow changes to protected systems, this is the least preferred one because it offers minimal security. After a trusted user is added, there are no restrictions on what the user can change or run on the system.
