Manage admins and roles

Manage admins and roles

Knox Asset Intelligence lets you add other administrators to the console in order to view or manage your devices and dashboard data. The general process for adding admins and creating roles is the same for all Knox Suite products, and is documented in Manage Knox service administrators.

Role-based data access

When defining roles for your Knox Asset Intelligence admins, you can use Data access permissions to grant or deny access to certain dashboard insights and console features. Admins must be granted access to an insight or feature in order to use it on the console.

The following list describes each Data access permission and its associated dashboard insight or feature:

Diagnostics

Provides admins with access to the Diagnostics page. If granted, admins can view the following logs on the console:

  • TCPdump logs
  • Device debug logs
  • Snapshots

If you want to also let admins request a log or snapshot, then you’ll have to also grant the role permission for Devices and Uploads > Manage devices > Accept, reject, upload, unenroll devices, manage tags, request debug log, and send permission notifications.
