Assigning a Vulnerability to a User

Summary: How to assign a vulnerability to users within Ivanti Neurons RBVM/ASOC/VULN KB.

When using Ivanti Neurons RBVM/ASOC/VULN KB, remediation can take several different forms, but one important function is to assign users vulnerabilities for remediation work. You can either assign a vulnerability to yourself or to another user (depending on your permissions in Neurons RBVM/ASOC/VULN KB). User assignments ensure that remediation can be tracked so work is not duplicated.

To assign a vulnerability to a user, navigate to either the Manage > Host Findings or Manage > Application Findings pages.

Assign Vulnerabilities - Host and Application Findings Menu Location

Select the finding(s) to assign by clicking the check box in the page’s first column. You may select several vulnerabilities at a time for assignment.
