Managing Users
The
administrator can add and manage users that can be assigned to the
customers to address the incidents, cases and malicious events
arising from their respective customer's networks. These
technician users can access and view and manage only the dashboards,
events and incidents pertaining to the customers assigned to them.
The 'Correlated Incidents' and 'Cases' that are detected for
customers will be automatically assigned to users enrolled for the
respective customers on a random basis. Refer to the section
'Managing
Incidents'
