List Types and Purpose

Lists are reusable objects that contain string values used for searching, and when defining datasets and policies.

TypeDescriptionModifiability
Managed (read only)A predefined list provided by Cyberhaven.Cannot be edited, but they can be duplicated to create custom lists.
Managed (read/write)A predefined list provided by Cyberhaven.Can be modified.
UnmanagedA custom list created by the user.Can be modified by the user.

Lists Table Fields

The lists table displays the following fields:

  • Name: The list name.
  • Description: The list description.
  • Number of Items: The number of items defined in the list.
  • Type: Indicates the list type (Managed or Unmanaged).
  • Used In: The number of times the list is used in datasets and policies. Clicking this number displays usage details in a pop-up dialog with links to the relevant dataset or policy.

Saving Behavior and Validation

When creating or duplicating a list, Cyberhaven validates the list for extra spaces and lines in entries.

If extra spaces or lines are detected, the user is prompted to choose between keeping the extra spaces/lines or allowing Cyberhaven to trim them before saving.

Events are associated with a new list only after it has been saved and applied in a dataset or policy.
