[BESAdmin-Announcements] IBM Bigfix Query Release : Introducing Multiple roles, Query parameters, Improved control, Better organization, Improved targeting

[Announcements for BES Administrators]

The IBM BigFix team is pleased to announce the next release of the BigFix 
Query application for the IBM BigFix WebUI.

The BigFix Query application provides real-time endpoint inspection to 
Lifecycle and Compliance customers.  Security analysts, IT Analysts and 
Master operators can quickly and easily gather endpoint information by 
selecting pre-defined queries provided by IBM, creating ad-hoc queries as 
well as creating and sharing their own queries.
 
This latest release introduces some important new features which improve 
usability by allowing administrators to easily manage queries and by 
allowing operators to easily use authorized queries with very minimal 
knowledge of BigFix.

Multiple roles
Support for administrator and operator Query roles using permissions model 
for custom content.

Easy to use
Eliminates the need for operators to know ?Relevance? by no longer 
displaying relevance, only the query description is displayed and values 
are solicited for query parameters.

Improved control 
Authorize operators to access specific queries.

Better organization 
Queries can be associated with multiple user-defined categories.

Improved targeting 
Expanded reach of query by targeting dynamic groups of endpoints.

Faster ROI
Additional pre-defined queries for Security and IT delivered by IBM.
