Users Grid

At a glance you can see user details such as their photo, display or logon name, job title, department, and address.

* 
NOTE: Alerts generated from Active Roles or GPOADmin events, use the name of the account that initiated the event (rather than the associated Service Account) for the user information in the Threat Detection portal.

The grid includes the following user data:

•
Watchlist status
•
User risk score
•
Number of alerts

Additional grid functions:

•
Sort by: Use this function to sort the existing list of users by Risk Score, Name, or Number of Alerts.
•
Export: Click to export information for the current list of users to a .csv file. The file will be automatically downloaded.
•
Add All to Watchlist: Click to add all users in the current filtered view to the watchlist.
•
Search Users List: Enter the name of a user to search for, and select it from the list that is displayed matching your entry.

The severity of the alert is based on the alert score. To see the alert score, hover over the alert severity icon.

•
Critical severity has a score of 98 – 100.
•
High severity has a score of 93 – 97.
•
Medium severity has a score of 85 – 93.
•
Low severity has a score of 75 – 84.

Alerts that do not meet the minimum threshold of 75 are discarded as false positives.

•
Entity Name: The name of the entity (for example, user account) that generated the alert.

•

•

Click the arrow by each alert to display the following additional details:

•
Indicator Name: The name of each unique indicator that is associated with the alert.
•
Anomaly Value: The value determined to be abnormal when compared to the baseline. This could be a number, timestamp, or text value. For example, if a user opens the same file numerous times in the same hourly timeframe, it will only display as 1 in the anomaly value.
•
Data Source: The data source (authentication, file, or Active Directory) of the risky activity.
•
Start Time; The date and time when this indicator was first detected.
•
# Events: The number of events in the indicator.
