Create the Log Analytics Workspace

Required User Role: Basic User
Note: The Tenable integration with Microsoft Sentinel works with a Basic User if that user is assigned Can View permissions on the assets they are to export, along with Can Use permissions on tags the assets are assigned. Without the Can Use tag permissions, the assets return undefined or the integration fails to export vulnerabilities if a tag filter is used. For more information on Tenable Vulnerability Management permissions and user roles, refer to Permissions in the Tenable Developer Portal.
