Access to Protector features is controlled by the Activity Groups and Activities assigned to the user. Access to a feature can be:
- Denied completely by disabling all activities
- Set to read-only by enabling only View activities (e.g. View Policies)
- Set to full control by enabling Manage activities (e.g. Manage Policies)
- Set to enable specific functionality within some features (e.g. Trigger Operations enables policies to be triggered from the Monitor page)
The following table lists the features available in Protector, along with the Activity Groups that control general access to those features. Fine grain access control to specific functions within a feature can be achieved by enabling or disabling specific Activities.

- Displaying an Access Denied hover hint when the user moves the cursor over the associated controls.
