Question

Your security operations team is expanding. Junior analysts triage alerts and refine detection thresholds, while a small platform team authors and deploys new YARA-L rules across the tenant. Leadership wants to enforce least privilege in Google SecOps but avoid blocking analysts from doing their daily triage work. Which role assignment strategy best balances operational effectiveness with least privilege?

Accepted Answer

Assign junior analysts a Viewer-plus-alert-management scoped role for triage and threshold tuning, and grant the platform team a rule-authoring/deployment role reserved for detection engineering.

Answer

Grant all team members the Editor role so anyone can adjust detections quickly when incidents escalate.

Answer

Give junior analysts the rule-authoring role too, since triage and detection tuning are functionally the same activity.

Answer

Assign only the platform team any access and have analysts submit ticket requests to view alerts through them.
