CB Protection: File Deletion not available

Products

• Carbon Black App Control (formerly Cb Protection)

Issue/Introduction

Why do I not see the option to delete files on 8.1.0 Patch 1?

Environment

CB Protection Server: 8.1.0.3324 (Patch 1) and above

Resolution

• The commands for deleting files are available in the following locations:
  • The File Catalog page
  • The Files on Computers page
  • The Find Files page
  • The File Details page
  • The File Instance Details page
• To access file deletion features, a user must have a login account with a User Role that includes the Delete files permission.
• Permission for these features is not granted by default to the admin account or members of the Administrator account group.
• You must explicitly add it, either by enabling Delete files permission for an existing role or by creating a new role for file deletion and adding it to accounts as you choose.
