Users must have an assigned user role.
Adding user roles
To create a new user role, click Add User Role, and enter the following information:
- Name: name of the new user role. Mandatory.
- Description: description of the new user role. Optional.
- General Access > YARA: allow overall access to the YARA page. Without this permission, users do not see the Yara option in the top navigation bar.
- YARA > YARA Publish and Delete: allow synchronizing and deleting YARA rulesets across all appliances connected to the Spectra Detect Manager. Without this permission, users can only make local changes to YARA rulesets. This permission requires YARA synchronization to be enabled on the Spectra Detect Manager and then subsequently on Spectra Analyze.
To save your changes, click Submit.
