The ESET PROTECT Permission Settings

In the ESET PROTECT, it is necessary to create a Static Group, where security engineers have access and full permission rights.

We recommend using pre-defined permission sets in the ESET PROTECT.

Refer to the ESET PROTECT documentation for more details on creating an ESET PROTECT Native User.

For the EI_SERVER_INSTALLER Web Console access user, the permission set should be:

EI_Admin_Permission


note

The user with this permission set should be used during the ESET Inspect Server installation process. If there is an error, logs with diagnostics data is created too, which will help solve the problem better.

 

For the EI_ADMIN Web Console access user, the permission set should be:

EI_User_Permission

 

For the EI_READ_ONLY Web Console access user, the permission set should be:

EI_Reviewer_Permission

Custom permission sets

You can create custom permission sets (see the Permission Sets Online Help topic).

A given permissions set enables Read, Use or Write access. In general:

Read permissions are good for auditing users. They can view data but cannot make changes.

Use permissions allow users to use objects and run tasks but not modify or delete them.

Write permissions allow users to either modify respective objects and/or duplicate them.

Certain permissions (listed below) control a process, not an object. That is why they work globally, so it does not matter which static group the permission is applied to. It will work regardless. If the process is allowed to a user, it can use it only over objects with sufficient permissions.
