Profiles#

Introduction#

TheHive includes a set of predefined profiles for Administrators and Organizations. This set can be expanded by creating custom profiles tailored to specific needs.

A valid license is required to update profiles.

About Permissions#

Each profile is defined by a set of permissions. There are two profile types:

  • Administration: Used by users in the Admin organization to manage the platform.
  • Organization: Used within business organizations.

Permissions follow the format manageEntity, where Entity represents an application entity. For example, manageCase grants the right to create, update, and delete cases.

All profiles, except for the admin profile, can be customized or deleted.

License-Consumption for Permissions#

Starting with version 5.4.3, TheHive introduces a distinction between permissions that consume a license and those that do not. In the profile permission selection screen, permissions are now divided into two categories:

  • Unlicensed Permissions: Permissions that do not consume a license.
  • Licensed Permissions: Permissions that consume a license.

Permissions that consume a license are grouped under Licensed Permissions, while those that do not consume a license are grouped under Unlicensed Permissions.

Permission Groups#

Here is a detailed list of permissions in each group:

The following permissions do not consume a license and are available under the Unlicensed group:
