Note

Intel feed quotas are based on the selected Fetches Indicators field in the integration instance settings, not the enabled status. Disabling an integration instance does not affect the Intel feed quota. For example, if the AWS Feed is enabled and is fetching indicators and you don't want to include this in your quota, open the integration settings and clear the Fetches Indicators checkbox.

Cortex XSOAR users

Cortex XSOAR has audit users and full users.

Audit user

Audit users have read-only permission in Cortex XSOAR, meaning they do not have the ability to edit system components and data, or run commands, scripts, and playbooks. Audit users can view incidents, dashboards, and reports.

Full user

Full users have read-write permission in Cortex XSOAR, meaning they have the ability to view and edit system components and data. They can investigate incidents, run scripts and playbooks, chat in the War Room, and more. Full users’ access to Cortex XSOAR is determined by their assigned role.
