# Long-running HTTP Integrations configuration

Governs the backend service that hosts and serves dynamic content to external security devices, such as Palo Alto Networks firewalls. It allows administrators to enable or disable the EDL service and manage its global settings. Access this through **Settings → Configurations → Integrations → External Dynamic List** Integration.

This permission is used by administrators to set up and maintain the EDL service infrastructure.

EDL (under Investigation & Response permissions): Used by analysts to add or remove specific IP addresses and domains to lists during active investigations. For more information, see [EDL permissions](/cortex-xdr-5.x/reference-and-developer-docs/role-based-access-control/investigation-and-response-permissions/response-permissions/edl-permissions.md).

Required and recommended permissions

As the EDL service is used for response actions, consider these dependencies:

| Permission                                    | Permission Level                                        | Reason                                                                                                                                                  |

# 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-5.x/reference-and-developer-docs/role-based-access-control/configuration-permissions/long-running-http-integrations-configuration.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.
