Getting Started with CAR
You must have the user roles defined to get started with Qualys CAR. Not all users have access to execute all the operations; hence, user segregation is a better way to streamline the process of script execution in your environment.
Qualys CAR uses role-based access control (RBAC) permissions that control access to various functions.
Qualys CAR includes the following features:
- Provides a framework to maintain a repository of generic scripts that can be executed on assets and the output of the scripts is shared with the applications in your Qualys subscription.
- Allows the output of a script execution to be shared with other Qualys apps that are registered to fetch the script output.
A typical CAR workflow includes the following:
- Create a script
- Test a script (optional)
- Review a script
- Execute a script on demand (Run Now) or schedule its execution
To know more about the predefined roles in Qualys CAR, refer to Required Roles and Permissions for CAR.
