A Non-Master operator wants to create a Retrieved Property that is applicable to the computers that they are allowed to manage. How can they…

The standard and recommended method for any operator, including a Non-Master operator, to create a new Retrieved Property is by creating an Analysis. An Analysis acts as a container for one or more related properties. Within the Analysis, the operator can define the property's Relevance expression and also use the Analysis's own relevance clause to target the specific set of computers that should evaluate and report on this property, aligning perfectly with the requirement to apply it only to computers they manage.

A. This action creates a global property. Non-Master operators typically do not have the necessary permissions to create global properties, which are reserved for Master Operators.

B. The HCL BigFix Console does not provide an "Add Property" option in the right-click context menu for a computer group. This is not a valid procedure.

C. The HCL BigFix Console does not provide an "Add Property" option in the right-click context menu for a selection of computers. This is not a valid procedure.

"Creating an Analysis" section: "An analysis is a collection of property expressions that can be used to summarize the properties of BigFix clients... To create an analysis: 1. From the Tools menu

select Create New Analysis... 3. Click the Properties tab. 4. Click the Add Property button." This outlines the exact procedure described in the correct answer.

"Managing Properties" section: "Analyses are the preferred method for creating properties that are related to each other... Global properties are created from the Manage Properties dialog

available from the Tools menu." This distinguishes between global properties (Option A) and the preferred method of using an Analysis (Option D).

"Operator Permissions" section: This section details the granular permissions required for content creation. Creating an Analysis requires "Can Create Content" permission within a specific site (e.g.

the operator's private site or a custom site)

which is a permission commonly granted to Non-Master operators for their scope of work. Creating global properties requires a higher level of privilege.
