# Investigation Admin

View and triage issues and cases, configure rules, view endpoint profiles and policies, and manage analytics. A senior investigation role focused on rule configuration, full investigation, response actions (action center, device control, host firewall), but no Live Terminal and no agent management.

### Tip

Assign to detection engineers, SOC leads, or threat intelligence managers who focus on tuning detection rules, managing playbooks, and overseeing investigation workflows, but who delegate hands-on response actions to Responder roles. This role is about building and maintaining the detection and investigation infrastructure rather than performing incident response.

# Agent Instructions

## 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/reference/rbac-permissions/default-panw-roles/investigation-admin.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.
