   1. all privileges under ‘Management Privileges’
   2. “Create Software Deliveries” privilege under ‘Software Management’
   3. “Managed Software Delivery” and “Quick Delivery Task” privileges  under second ‘Right Click Menu – Actions’
2. In Security Role Manager > Symantec Level 1 Worker (for 7.5 see below section for alternate steps) 
   1. Enable  “Read/Write” permissions for Policies folder
   2. Enable  “Read/Write” permissions for Tasks folder
   3. Enable  “Read/Write” permissions for Resource Management folder
   4. Click Edit button to add more settings.  In Items Selector window:
      1. Select ‘Managed Delivery Settings’ under Settings > Software folder.
      2. Select ‘Inventory Rule’ under Settings > Notification Server > Resource and Data Class Settings > Data Classes > Inventory Rule Management
      3. Select ‘Command Line Requires Package’ under Settings > Notification Server > Resource and Data Class Settings > Resource Associations > Software Management
      4. Click Save Changes to add selected items.
   5. Enable  ‘Read’ and ‘Read Resource Data’ permissions for added ‘Inventory Rule’ item located under Settings > Notification Server > Resource and Data Class Settings > Data Classes > Inventory Rule Management folder
   6. Enable ‘Read’ and ‘Read Resource Data’ permissions for ‘Software Component’ item located under Settings > Notification Server > Resource and Data Class Settings > Data Classes > Software Management folder
   7. Ensure that ‘Read’ permission is enabled for ‘Command Line Requires Package’ item located under  Settings > Notification Server > Resource and Data Class Settings > Resource Associations > Software Management folder
