# Threat Intelligence permissions

Located under **Threat Management** → **Threat Intelligence**, these permissions govern how your organization interacts with indicators (IPs, URLs, Domains, Hashes) and intelligence feeds. It allows you to transform raw data from sources like Unit 42 or AlienVault into actionable security logic.

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature requires the Extended Threat Intelligence (XTI) security add-on.

| Component | Description                                                                                    |
| --------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| None      | No access to the Threat Intel Library, Indicators and Threat Intel Dashboard.                  |
| View      | Users can search the Threat Intel Library and Indicators, and view the Threat Intel Dashboard. |
| View/Edit | Full control to manage indicators and indicator rules.                                         |

**Required and recommended permissions**

Consider adding the following permissions:

| Permission      | Permission level | Reason                                                                                                                                    |
| --------------- | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Cases & Issues  | View             | Strongly recommended. Indicator enrichment data appears in case artifacts, and editing indicators from case context requires case access. |
| Detection Rules | View/Edit        | Strongly Recommended. Enables creating indicator rules directly from indicators.                                                          |
| Query Center    | View/Edit        | Enables investigating indicators via XQL queries. Essential for validating indicator impact before creating rules or blocking.            |

## 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/threat-management-permissions/threat-intelligence-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.
