What type of user roles can be set up in the Falcon Platform?

In the CrowdStrike Falcon Platform, user roles are designed to provide flexible access control that meets various organizational needs. The ability to set up any combination of administrators, analysts, and custom roles allows organizations to tailor permissions according to specific operational requirements and security policies.

Administrators typically have full access to configure and manage the platform, making strategic decisions and adjusting settings as necessary. Analysts, on the other hand, generally focus on incident investigation, threat monitoring, and analysis, with permissions that allow them to view and act on data relevant to their functions. The inclusion of custom roles further enhances this flexibility, as organizations can define specific permissions that align with unique job functions or team structures.

This versatility ensures that organizations can effectively manage their cybersecurity operations while adhering to the principle of least privilege, allowing users to access only the resources they need to perform their roles without unnecessary exposure to sensitive functionality or data. By enabling various roles, the Falcon Platform supports diverse operational workflows and enhances overall security posture.
