Which role allows external tools to create or amend Security Incident records?

The role that allows external tools to create or amend Security Incident records is designated as "sn_si.integration_user." This role is specifically designed for integration purposes, enabling external systems or tools to interface with the incident management system seamlessly. The integration user role typically has permissions that facilitate actions such as creating, updating, or deleting incident records based on interactions with external applications or services.

For instance, if a security monitoring tool identifies a potential incident, it can use the integration user role to automatically generate a record in the incident management system, allowing for a streamlined and efficient response workflow. This role ensures that the necessary permissions are in place for automated processes or third-party applications to interact with incident data without overexposing sensitive system functionalities.

The other roles listed do not have this specific capability. For instance, roles focused on reading data ("sn_si.read") would not grant permissions to modify records, while roles such as "sn_si.ciso" and "sn_si.external" may have different scopes of access and may not be intended for integrations with external systems. Understanding these nuances is essential for configuring security incident response systems effectively.
