# Create a security managed action

Create managed actions to apply security changes across child tenants.

After you have created and assigned a configuration for each of your child tenant’s security actions, you can define the specific managed action on behalf of the child tenant.

1. Navigate to each of the following Cortex XDR pages:
   * Investigation → Incident Management → Exclusions → **Alert Exclusions Configuration** panel
   * Investigation → Incident Management → Starred Alerts → **Starred Alerts Configuration** panel
   * Endpoints → Policy Management → Prevention → Profiles → **Profile Configuration** panel
   * Response → Action Center → Currently Applied Actions → Block List/Allow List → **Allow List/Block List** configuration panel
   * Detection Rules → BIOC → **BIOC Rules Configuration** panel
   * Investigation → Exception Configuration → IOC/BIOC Suppression Rules → **IOC/BIOC Exceptions Configuration** panel
2. In the corresponding **Configuration** panel, select the [action configuration](/cortex-xdr-5.x/onboard-cortex-xdr/multi-tenant/child-tenant-management/create-and-allocate-configurations.md) you created and allocated to your child tenant.

   The corresponding security action **Table** displays the actions managing the child tenant.
3. Depending on the security action, select:

   * **+ Add Exclusion** to create an Alert Exclusion.
   * **+ Add Starring Configuration** to create a starred alert inclusion.
   * **+ New Profile** to create a new endpoint profile.

   <div data-gb-custom-block data-tag="hint" data-style="info" class="hint hint-info"><p>Profiles you create are automatically cloned to your child tenants.</p></div>

   * **+ Add a BIOC rule** to create a BIOC rule.
   * **+ Add an exception** to create an IOC/BIOC exception.
   * **+ Add a hash** to create an allow list or block list entry.

# Agent Instructions

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xdr-5.x/onboard-cortex-xdr/multi-tenant/child-tenant-management/create-a-security-managed-action.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
