Access control for Workspace ONE Assist is provided through the use of roles. Roles are assigned to users and provide the ability to restrict their ability to perform certain actions. When a user is added to a role, they are prevented from accessing all features of Workspace ONE Assist. A malicious user may be able to circumvent these restrictions and access features of Workspace ONE Assist not accessible to regular users.
If you have installed VMware Workspace ONE Assist prior to 22.10, it is recommended that you upgrade to the latest version as soon as possible.
