BlueXP ransomware protection employs roles to govern the access that each user has to specific features and actions.

  • Ransomware protection admin: Manage actions on the Protect, Alerts, Recover, Settings, and Reports tabs.

  • Ransomware protection viewer: View workload data, view alert data, download recovery data, and download reports.

These roles are in addition to the BlueXP platform roles that govern access to the BlueXP service and other services, such as data protection, workload management, and so on. For details about all BlueXP platform roles, see the BlueXP setup and administration documentation.
