Policy Description notes:
◦ In order to delete capture sessions from the Forensics view, the user must have the Delete Captures and the Delete Files policies.
◦ The View Captures, Save Packet Data and Create Forensic Search policies will affect which capture sessions are available to the user when performing a distributed forensic search or creating an MSA project. The user must have the View Captures policy on the target engine to see capture sessions for captures the user doesn't own. The user must have the Save Packet Data and Create Forensic Search policies on the target engine to see any of its capture sessions.
◦ The user must have the Upload Files and Create Forensic Search policies to create a distributed forensic search and to create an MSA project.
◦ Users always maintain control over their own data, for example, deleting a capture they started. See also Manage Users for Roles.
