Access rights to application features

The table below shows the Kaspersky Security Center Linux features with the access rights to manage the associated tasks, reports, settings, and perform the associated user actions.

To perform the user actions listed in the table, a user has to have the right specified next to the action.

Read, Write, and Execute rights are applicable to any task, report, or setting. In addition to these rights, a user has to have the Perform operations on device selections right to manage tasks, reports, or settings on device selections.

The General features: Access objects regardless of their ACLs functional area is intended for audit purposes. When users are granted Read rights in this functional area, they get full Read access to all objects and are able to execute any created tasks on selections of devices connected to the Administration Server via Network Agent with local administrator rights (root for Linux). We recommend to carefully grant these rights to a limited set of users who need them to perform their official duties.

All tasks, reports, settings, and installation packages that are missing in the table belong to the General features: Basic functionality functional area.
