# Define a new vulnerability integration

A vulnerability integration pulls report data from a third-party system, generally to retrieve vulnerability data, and process that reporting data using data sources or a custom processor.

## Before you begin

Persona and granular roles are available to help you manage what users and groups can see and do in the Vulnerability Response application. For an initial assignment of the persona roles in Setup Assistant, see [Assign the Vulnerability Response persona roles using Setup Assistant](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/vulnerability-response/vr-assign-personas_SA.md). For more information about managing granular roles, see [Manage persona and granular roles for Vulnerability Response](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/security-management/vulnerability-response/vr_manage_granular-roles.md).

Role required: sn\_vul.vulnerability\_admin or sn\_vul.admin \(deprecated\)
