How to Manage the Quarantine Path for a Scan Playbook

For the scan playbooks you create in Spirion Sensitive Data Playbook the Manage Quarantine Paths feature can be used to set a quarantine path specific to a playbook. This quarantine path overrides the global quarantine settings (quarantine file path) located in Settings > Application Settings > Scans Settings, Remedation section.

Multiple quarantine paths separated by a comma can be entered for each environment (Amazon S3, Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, etc.).

Note: UNC paths are supported for workstations and remote file servers, and standard file systems.

User Permissions Required to Use Manage Quarantine Paths

A user must have the following permissions or be a member of a role that has the permssions:

  • Each user has full permissions to the playbooks they create ("owner" rights)
  • Administrator users have full permissions to all playbooks
  • Non-admin users (who did not create the playbook) require the "Manage" permission. This can be set at the User or Role level.
    • User Level:
      • Navigate to Settings > User Management, USERS tab
      • For a specific user select more options at the far right of the table row, select "Manage permssions" from the drop-down menu
      • Select the PLAYBOOKS tab.
      • Under the Playbook Access (User) column for the specific playbook, select "Manage" from the drop-down menu.
      • See "How to Change a User's Playbook Permissions"
      • Below is an example screenshot for a user Role (as with Users, the PLAYBOOKS tab contains the permissions for each scan playbook). Changing the access for a specific playbook here affects all users who are members of this role.

  10. Cloud Targets can also quarantine to cloud locations.
    1. For example, with a Google Cloud Target the following are valid path formats:
      1. C:\Quarantine_Folder - This entry would cause all files on this target to be quarantined to a folder on the agent host system performing the scan.
      2. \\RemoteServer\Quarantine_Folder - This entry would cause all files to be quarantined to a remote folder.
      3. Google Drive: user@account.com/Quarantine_Folder - This entry would cause all files on this cloud provider to be quarantined to a specified Google Drive folder.
        Note: To quarantine files to Microsoft OneDrive, the entire location path must be written in lowercase.
    2. For example, OneDrive paths must be formatted exactly as follows:
      1. Microsoft OneDrive: user@domain.com/quarantinefolder
  11. Click the Confirm button.
