Provide Granular Access to the Network Tab
When deciding whether to allow access to the Network tab
as a whole, determine whether the administrator will have network administration
responsibilities, including GlobalProtect administration. If not,
the administrator probably does not need access to the tab.
You can also define access to the Network tab
at the node level. By enabling access to a specific node, you give
the administrator the privilege to view, add, and delete the corresponding
network configurations. Giving read-only access allows the administrator
to view the already-defined configuration, but not create or delete
any. Disabling a node prevents the administrator from seeing the
node in the web interface.
Access Level | Description | Enable | Read Only | Disable |
---|---|---|---|---|
Interfaces | Specifies whether the administrator can
view, add, or delete interface configurations. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Zones | Specifies whether the administrator can
view, add, or delete zones. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
VLANs | Specifies whether the administrator can
view, add, or delete VLANs. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Virtual Wires | Specifies whether the administrator can
view, add, or delete virtual wires. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Virtual Routers | Specifies whether the administrator can
view, add, modify or delete virtual routers. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
IPSec Tunnels | Specifies whether the administrator can
view, add, modify, or delete IPSec Tunnel configurations. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
GRE Tunnels | Specifies whether the administrator can
view, add, modify, or delete GRE Tunnel configurations. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
DHCP | Specifies whether the administrator can
view, add, modify, or delete DHCP server and DHCP relay configurations. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
DNS Proxy | Specifies whether the administrator can
view, add, modify, or delete DNS proxy configurations. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
GlobalProtect | Specifies whether the administrator can
view, add, modify GlobalProtect portal and gateway configurations.
You can disable access to the GlobalProtect functions entirely,
or you can enable the GlobalProtect privilege and then restrict
the role to either the portal or gateway configuration areas. | Yes | No | Yes |
Portals | Specifies whether the administrator can
view, add, modify, or delete GlobalProtect portal configurations. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Gateways | Specifies whether the administrator can
view, add, modify, or delete GlobalProtect gateway configurations. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
MDM | Specifies whether the administrator can
view, add, modify, or delete GlobalProtect MDM server configurations. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Device Block List | Specifies whether the administrator can
view, add, modify, or delete device block lists. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Clientless Apps | Specifies whether the administrator can
view, add, modify, or delete GlobalProtect Clientless VPN applications. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Clientless App Groups | Specifies whether the administrator can
view, add, modify, or delete GlobalProtect Clientless VPN application groups. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
QoS | Specifies whether the administrator can
view, add, modify, or delete QoS configurations. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
LLDP | Specifies whether the administrator can
view add, modify, or delete LLDP configurations. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Network Profiles | Sets the default state to enable or disable
for all of the Network settings described below. | Yes | No | Yes |
GlobalProtect IPSec Crypto | Controls access to the Network ProfilesGlobalProtect IPSec Crypto node. If
you disable this privilege, the administrator will not see that
node, or configure algorithms for authentication and encryption
in VPN tunnels between a GlobalProtect gateway and clients. If
you set the privilege to read-only, the administrator can view existing GlobalProtect
IPSec Crypto profiles but cannot add or edit them. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
IKE Gateways | Controls access to the Network ProfilesIKE Gateways node. If you disable
this privilege, the administrator will not see the IKE
Gateways node or define gateways that include the configuration
information necessary to perform IKE protocol negotiation with peer gateway. If
the privilege state is set to read-only, you can view the currently configured
IKE Gateways but cannot add or edit gateways. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
IPSec Crypto | Controls access to the Network ProfilesIPSec Crypto node. If you disable
this privilege, the administrator will not see the Network ProfilesIPSec Crypto node or
specify protocols and algorithms for identification, authentication,
and encryption in VPN tunnels based on IPSec SA negotiation. If
the privilege state is set to read-only, you can view the currently configured
IPSec Crypto configuration but cannot add or edit a configuration. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
IKE Crypto | Controls how devices exchange information
to ensure secure communication. Specify the protocols and algorithms
for identification, authentication, and encryption in VPN tunnels
based on IPsec SA negotiation (IKEv1 Phase-1). | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Monitor | Controls access to the Network ProfilesMonitor node. If you disable
this privilege, the administrator will not see the Network ProfilesMonitor node or
be able to create or edit a monitor profile that is used to monitor
IPSec tunnels and monitor a next-hop device for policy-based forwarding
(PBF) rules. If the privilege state is set to read-only, you
can view the currently configured monitor profile configuration
but cannot add or edit a configuration. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Interface Mgmt | Controls access to the Network ProfilesInterface Mgmt node. If you
disable this privilege, the administrator will not see the Network ProfilesInterface Mgmt node or
be able to specify the protocols that are used to manage the firewall. If
the privilege state is set to read-only, you can view the currently configured
Interface management profile configuration but cannot add or edit
a configuration. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Zone Protection | Controls access to the Network ProfilesZone Protection node. If you
disable this privilege, the administrator will not see the Network ProfilesZone Protection node
or be able to configure a profile that determines how the firewall
responds to attacks from specified security zones. If the
privilege state is set to read-only, you can view the currently configured
Zone Protection profile configuration but cannot add or edit a configuration. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
QoS Profile | Controls access to the Network ProfilesQoS node. If you disable this
privilege, the administrator will not see the Network ProfilesQoS node or be able to configure
a QoS profile that determines how QoS traffic classes are treated. If
the privilege state is set to read-only, you can view the currently configured
QoS profile configuration but cannot add or edit a configuration. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
LLDP Profile | Controls access to the Network ProfilesLLDP node. If you disable this
privilege, the administrator will not see the Network ProfilesLLDP node or be able to configure
an LLDP profile that controls whether the interfaces on the firewall
can participate in the Link Layer Discovery Protocol. If the
privilege state is set to read-only, you can view the currently configured
LLDP profile configuration but cannot add or edit a configuration. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
BFD Profile | Controls access to the Network ProfilesBFD Profile node. If you disable
this privilege, the administrator will not see the Network ProfilesBFD Profile node or
be able to configure a BFD profile. A Bidirectional Forwarding Detection
(BFD) profile allows you to configure BFD settings to apply to one
or more static routes or routing protocols. Thus, BFD detects a failed
link or BFD peer and allows an extremely fast failover. If
the privilege state is set to read-only, you can view the currently configured
BFD profile but cannot add or edit a BFD profile. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
SD-WAN Interface Profile | Controls access to the SD-WAN Interface Profile node. If
you disable this privilege, the administrator will not see the SD-WAN Interface Profile node or
be able to configure an SD-WAN Interface Profile. An SD-WAN Interface Profile
defines the characteristics of ISP connections and specifies the
link speed and how frequently the firewall monitors the link. If
the privilege state is set to read-only, you can view the currently configured
SD-WAN Interface Profile but cannot add or edit one. | Yes | Yes | Yes |
