You can create a snippet to group the configurations of
Prisma Access Agents
that you can quickly push to your deployments. Snippets are used to standardize a common base configuration for a set of project-based deployments, allowing you to quickly onboard new devices with a known good configuration and reducing the time required to onboard a new device.
After you create the snippet, you will associate the snippet to a scope, assign a user to the scope, and grant the user the Project Admin role. The user can then log in as the Project Admin and use the snippet to manage the project settings for the
Prisma Access Agent
. The Project Admin can only change the
Prisma Access Agent
settings for the snippets that they are assigned to.
To create a snippet, complete the following steps:
  1. Log in to
    Strata Cloud Manager
