Predefined user roles
User roles assigned to Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console users provide them with sets of access rights to application features.
Users created on a virtual Server cannot be assigned a role on the Administration Server.
You can use the predefined user roles with already configured set of rights, or create new roles and configure the required rights yourself. Some of the predefined user roles available in Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console can be associated with specific job positions, for example, Auditor, Security Officer, Supervisor (these roles are present in Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console starting from the version 11). Access rights of these roles are pre-configured in accordance with the standard tasks and scope of duties of the associated positions. The table below shows how roles can be associated with specific job positions.
