A Role is defined as a group of actions that a user is allowed to perform in Trellix IPS. Users authenticate themselves by logging into the Central Manager prior to performing any configuration activity. Not all users are allowed to fully administer the Central Manager; thus, user management controls the roles, the list of authorized activities, and the users that belong to that role. The roles assigned to a user in Central Manager, are carried forward to all associated Managers. The roles can however be changed to a higher role in an individual Manager. This upgraded role will apply only to that particular Manager.
Managing roles for Central Manager is similar to that of Manager. Roles can be default user roles such as Super User, or custom roles such as Operator, Security Expert, or System Administrator.
Role Assignments tab in Central Manager
The Role Assignments page (Manager → Users and Roles → Role Assignments) enables administrator to assign roles to users in the Trellix IPS. Adding a user requires the application of a role, or privilege, thus limiting a user's configuration abilities.
Note
You must first create a user through the Users action before assigning a role.
