Which role can view dashboards and manage sensor update policies?

The role that can view dashboards and manage sensor update policies is correctly identified as the Prevention Policy Manager. This role is specifically designed with access to critical security configurations, including overseeing sensor updates and ensuring that the organization's security protocols are up-to-date. By managing sensor update policies, this role plays a vital part in maintaining the effectiveness of the endpoint protection provided by the CrowdStrike Falcon platform.

In addition to managing these policies, the Prevention Policy Manager is equipped to access various dashboards that provide valuable insights into the status of endpoints, threat landscape, and overall security posture. This access to dashboards enables a comprehensive understanding of security metrics and helps in making informed decisions regarding security actions.

Other roles such as the Falcon Analyst and Falcon Security Lead may also have responsibilities that involve security insights and analysis, but their specific functions differ from those of the Prevention Policy Manager, particularly in terms of managing sensor policies. The Help Desk Analyst, while potentially involved in user support and basic troubleshooting, typically does not have the permissions to manage sensor update policies or access detailed dashboards used for security management.
