1 Denotes a provided permission.
The Trace Live Connections Write permission is required for any user to make direct connections to endpoints to investigate rule matches.
Provide the Bypass Action Approval Advanced Role to the Trace Analysis Content Set so that Trace users can make Live Connections to endpoints without having to go through action approval and still require approval on all other actions.
