About automation permission scopes for unified Cortex platform cloud content packs
The unified Cortex platform cloud content packs (AWS, Azure, and GCP) require a defined set of automation permissions to enable full integration with your cloud environment. Review the following before configuring access:
Forward compatibility: The permission set declared by each pack covers both currently available commands and commands planned for future releases. This eliminates the need to re-authorize permissions with each pack update.
Granular review: To see the permissions required for a specific command, refer to the Command Details section in the pack documentation.
Custom scoping: If your security policy requires permissions more restrictive than the recommended defaults, use a custom deployment template to define your access levels manually.
Caution
Reducing permissions below the recommended level may cause specific commands to fail or limit functionality in future pack updates.
