McAfee Content Security Reporter elements

The McAfee Content Security Reporter environment involves several elements to produce reports for

our organization.

Understand the role of each element to plan, use, and maintain the Content Security Reporter

environment. Elements in the environment include:

• Content Security Reporter — Server-based software that contains:

• Configuration settings

• Created report definitions

• Log data (when using the internal database)

• Reporting database

• ePolicy Orchestrator user interface

• Administrators and users — Manage report server user permissions in the Permission Sets

options (Menu | User Management | Permission Sets). When you first install the software, only users with

global administrator permissions can create and run reports and manage the report server.

However, a Content Security Reporter role is added to each standard permission set that can be

configured to either access report server data from within queries and reports or access the report

server data and edit report server settings.

• Database — The database stores data from each log source and reports are generated using the

data. Use the internal database or one of these supported external database platforms for storing

report data:
