Which role is required to create custom IOA rules?

The role of Custom IOA Manager is specifically designed to create and manage custom Indicators of Attack (IOA) rules within the CrowdStrike platform. Individuals in this role have the necessary permissions and access to develop custom IOA rules tailored to address specific threats or concerns that an organization may face. This specialization allows them to leverage their expertise in threat intelligence to enhance the organization's security posture.

Other roles, while they may have various security responsibilities, do not have the authority or permissions needed to create or configure these rules. The Falcon Administrator role primarily focuses on overall management and configuration of the Falcon platform but may not encompass the detailed permissions required for custom IOA creation. Security Analysts typically analyze threats and report incidents but are not tasked with rule creation. Help Desk Technicians, on the other hand, handle user support and technical issues, having no involvement in the development of security rules. Therefore, the Custom IOA Manager role is essential for this specific function within the CrowdStrike ecosystem.
