Set Permissions on User Interface Entities (Example)

Tenable Identity Exposure applies permissions along the path used to access a certain user interface feature. The following example shows how to set permissions to allow the configuration of Syslog.

To reach Syslog parameters, users require permissions along the path System > Configuration > SYSLOG in Tenable Identity Exposure:

  • System configuration: Management > System

  • Configuration parameters: Management > System > Configuration

  • Syslog alerts: Management > System > Configuration > Alerting engine > SYSLOG

To set permissions for Syslog configuration:

  1. In Tenable Identity Exposure, click Accounts > Roles management.

  2. Hover over the role for which you want to set permissions and click the icon on the right.

    The Edit a role pane appears.

  3. Under Permissions Management, select Interface Entities.

  4. In the list of entities, do the following:

    • Select Management > System and click the Access toggle to Granted.

    • Select Management > System > Configuration and click the Access toggle to Granted.

    • Select Management > System Configuration > Alerting engine > SYSLOG and click the Access toggle to Granted.

  1. Click Apply.

    A message confirms that Tenable Identity Exposure updated permissions on the entities.
