This article explains how to connect Trellix HX to Workbench.
Step 1: Enable console access
This procedure creates a user account for Expel that keeps the Expel activity separate from other activity on the Trellix HX console.
Note
Expel secures all login information our SOC analysts need about your devices in a MFA password product. Access to this login information is protected using our internal MFA processes. To learn more about the IP addresses all Expel traffic comes from, go here.

Click User Accounts on the left.

For Username add Expel.

Ensure the Role is set to Admin.
