Exception Management Admin permissions

Configure Exception Management Admin permissions in Cortex AgentiX.

Exception Management Admin controls access to the Exception Rules tab on the Issue Exclusions and Exceptions page under Settings → Issue Exception & Exclusion. Exception rules differ from exclusion rules in that they define conditions under which issues are flagged as exceptions that may require approval before being acted upon, rather than being silently suppressed.

Requires Issue Exclusions permission (at least View) to access the page. Without Issue Exclusions, the entire page is hidden.

Permission	Description	Roles Example
None	No access to the Exceptions Rules tab on the All Issue Exception & Exclusion Rules page.	SOC Tier-1 Analyst: Should escalate false positives rather than create an exception.
View	Read-only access to the Exception Rules tab on theAll Issue Exception & Exclusion Rules page. Users can browse Exception Rules, view rule details including BIOC indicator definitions, and filter/search the exception rules grid, but cannot create, edit, or delete exception rules.	SOC Tier-2 Analyst and Threat Hunter: Should reference existing exceptions during investigations or understand filtered activity.
View/Edit	Read and write access to the Exception Rules tab on theAll Issue Exception & Exclusion Rules page, including creating, editing, and deleting Exception Rules.	SOC Tier-3 Analyst: Create exception rules for validated false positives. Security Engineer: Manage exception rules as part of tuning.

Required and recommended permissions

Consider adding the following permissions:

Permission	Permission Level	Reason
Cases & Issues	View	Exception rules are based on issue attributes. Without alert visibility, users cannot understand the context of what is being excepted. Required.
Issue Exclusions	View or View/Edit	View: Issue Exclusions is a prerequisite. Controls access to the All Issue Exclusions and Exceptions page. Without it, the page is hidden, and the Exception Rules tab cannot be reached. Required. View/Edit: Users who manage exception rules typically also need to manage exclusion rules. Having both at View/Edit provides a complete exception management workflow.
