Required and recommended permissions

Consider adding the following permissions:

Permission	Permission Level	Reason
Agent Administrations	View	Required. Groups organize endpoints. Without endpoint visibility, group membership cannot be understood or validated.
Agent Prevention Policies	View	Required. Policies are assigned to groups. Understanding which policies target which groups is essential for group context.
Agent Profiles	View	Strongly recommended. Profiles are assigned to groups. Understanding profile assignments prevents configuration conflicts when reorganizing groups.
Agent Extension Policies	View	Strongly recommended. Extension policies target groups. Understanding extension assignments prevents disrupting Device Control, Host Firewall, or Disk Encryption when modifying groups.
Agent Installations	View	Recommended. Installation packages may be targeted by group. Visibility helps coordinate deployment with group structure.
