# Detection Rules permissions

You can limit permissions for Detection rules (**Threat Management** → **Detection Rules**), which include the following:

* Correlations: Correlation rules that combine multiple events or conditions to detect complex attack patterns spanning multiple data sources or time periods.
* Indicator rules: Rules that automatically create IOC detection or prevention rules based on threat intelligence indicators matching specific criteria.

### Caution

Users must have View/Edit access to the Query Center to create or edit Correlation rules.

**Required and recommended permissions**

Consider adding the following permissions:

| Permission     | Permission Level | Reason                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| -------------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Query Center   | View/Edit        | Required to edit Correlation Rules.                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| Cases & Issues | View             | Strongly recommended. Detection rules generate issues that appear in Cases & Issues. Without case access, analysts cannot see the issues triggered by the rules they are viewing, losing critical context for rule effectiveness assessment. |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-agentix/configure-cortex-agentix/users-and-roles-management/roles-management/role-permissions-by-component/threat-management-permissions/detection-rules-permissions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
