Steps

  1. Under Status, select the status reports to which this role should have access:
    • The Dashboard shows system alerts, statistics, and an incident summary over the last 24 hours.
    • The System Health screen enables you to monitor the performance of Forcepoint DLP servers and protectors.
    • The Endpoint Status screen summarizes the results of endpoint connectivity tests. (Not included in Forcepoint Web Security or Forcepoint Email Security.)
    • The Mobile Status contains details of the traffic being monitored by Forcepoint DLP over specific periods, such as data that has breached policies and the actions taken.

      • Incident Export - in order to prevent the administrators from viewing the source and destination, make sure the ‘All other general settings’ option is disabled.
      • Traffic Log - in order to prevent the administrators from viewing the information, make sure the ‘Traffic log’ option is disabled.
  3. Select the Discovery incident and reporting functions for this role. Discovery functions are not included in Forcepoint Web Security or Forcepoint Email Security.
    • Summary reports - Select this option to give administrators with this role access to discovery summary reports.

      • Perform operations on incidents - Select this option if you want administrators with this role to be able to perform all escalation, remediation, and workflow operations on discovery incidents.
      • Export incidents to a PDF or CSV file - Select this option if you want to allow administrators with this role to bulk export discovery incidents from an incident report to a PDF or CSV file. Exports include all data in the current report.
  4. Mark Send email notifications if administrators with this role should be notified when an incident is assigned to them.
  5. Under Policy Management, select the policy management functions this role should be able to perform.
    • Data loss prevention policies - Can configure DLP policies for all channels as well as content classifiers and resources.
    • Discovery policies - Can configure discovery policies, tasks, content classifiers, and resources.
    • Sample database records - Can view sample database information when editing a database fingerprinting classifier, including database, Salesforce, and CSV classifiers.

      This is offered on the Field Selection page of the fingerprinting wizard when you define the records to fingerprint. It allows you to verify that you’ve set up the classifier as intended. See Database Fingerprinting Wizard - Field Selection section for more details.

      Administrators can always view sample data when creating a new classifier, but you may not want all administrators to view data set up by others. If you clear this box, this option is grayed out for administrators with this role.
