Create a View Only user

Supported in:

The administrator can add view only users to the Google Security Operations platform. This can be useful when you want somebody in your organization or an MSSP customer to be aware of information pertaining to specific places in the platform but without having the ability to change them.

The procedure to add these users is the same as that of adding regular users:

  1. Purchase the license for the required number of users with your Account Manager.
  2. Create a new view only user group or use the predefined view only group.
  3. Create a new user.
