WithSecure MDR customers can now view and manage pre-authorization for manual response actions directly in Elements Security Center. Previously, WithSecure managed these settings based on the agreement with each customer. Pre-authorization can now be configured at two levels: as an organization-wide default and separately for individual devices, identities, or groups of them.<\/p>\n
Customers benefit from faster response during incidents and more precise control over sensitive assets. For example, they can apply stricter settings to servers that contain sensitive data while using different settings for regular laptops.<\/p>\n
Start in Elements Security Center by reviewing the default settings your organization. You can then manage settings for Devices and Identities in corresponding pages.<\/p>\n
Under Management \u2192 Security services, the service tiles (”MDR for Endpoints” and ”MDR for Identities”) have the Pre-authorized actions setting. Here you set the organization-level default authorization separately for Workstations, Servers, Users, and Service principals.<\/p>\n In Environment \u2192 Devices, select one or more devices and open Pre-authorized actions from the Actions panel to keep the organization default or override it for the selected device(s).<\/p>\n![\"Screenshot](\"https:\/\/support.withsecure.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/2026\/10\/screenshot-2026-09-09-092656.png.webp\")
