# Step 2. Define access configurations and role permissions

To set up manual pairing in a customer-owned license multi-tenant deployment, after the parent and child Cortex XDR tenants are activated, you must define correct access configuration in the Customer Support Portal (CSP) and role permissions in Cortex Gateway.

The following table describes the access configurations and role permissions needed:

| Tenant | Application                           | Action                                                                                                                                        |
| ------ | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Parent | Customer Support Portal (CSP) Account | Ensure the parent user name has Super User role permissions.                                                                                  |
|        | Cortex Gateway                        | Ensure the user name added to the child tenant’s CSP account has Admin role permissions on the parent Cortex XDR instance.                    |
| Child  | Customer Support Portal (CSP) Account | Add the user name from the parent tenant who is initiating the parent-child pairing and ensure the user name has Super User role permissions. |
|        | Gateway                               | Provide the user name added in CSP with Admin role permissions to access the child Cortex XDR instance.                                       |

# 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-xdr-3.x/cortex-xdr-3.x-documentation/multi-tenant/onboard-cortex-multi-tenant/onboarding-checklist-for-multi-tenant-customer-owned-license-deployments/step-2.-define-access-configurations-and-role-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.
