# Administering Discovery Agent Administering the Discovery Agent involves: * Activating it by enabling cross-region inference. * Setting permissions for users to work with insight triggers and to access feeds. Some permissions can be configured both by tenant administrators and users, and others are configured by tenant administrators only. Information note Discovery Agent tenant-level permissions are turned off by default in the default permissions. To activate Discovery Agent, administrators can either enable the Discovery Agent permissions in the default permissions or assign them to specific users through a custom role. Using a custom role allows administrators to grant access based on specific use cases. To learn more about these permissions, see [Discovery Agent permissions](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/DiscoveryAgent/discovery-agent-admin.htm#Permissions). ## Activating Discovery Agent To activate Discovery Agent, cross-region inference needs to be enabled for the Qlik Cloud tenant. Cross-region inference authorizes the tenant to send some data temporarily to other Qlik Cloud regions for generative AI interactions. Enabling cross-region inference is done by a tenant administrator. For more information, see [Enabling cross-region inference](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Admin/cross-region-data-processing.htm). ## Discovery Agent permissions To work with Discovery Agent, you need: * [Administrator-assigned permissions](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/DiscoveryAgent/discovery-agent-admin.htm#AdminAssigned) * [Space permissions](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/DiscoveryAgent/discovery-agent-admin.htm#Space) ### Administrator-assigned permissions [](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/DiscoveryAgent/discovery-agent-admin.htm) #### Administrator-assigned permissions The following administrator-assigned permissions are required depending on the action.
