Chapter 4
Setting Up Scanning Permissions for
Users
Overview
Introduction
After you register your agent with the SiteProtector system, you can control access to it
through the permissions in the SiteProtector system. Permissions in the SiteProtector
system are flexible so that you can define access at different levels of granularity. You can
set permissions for the following levels:
●
globally
●
for a user or a group of users
●
for a group of assets
●
for policies
Example
You may grant a security manager access to all Enterprise Scanner permissions with a
single global setting. You may add other users but restrict them to a subset of Enterprise
Scanner functions by using one or more of the other types of permissions.
