Roles

An overview of the Venn Firewall roles

Firewall Admin

The FIREWALL_ADMIN is the wallet or account that can configure your firewall's settings. Such as which Firewall instance your smart contracts use, what security policies are enabled, and whether the policies are enabled globally or on specific methods.

Default Configuration

By default, when you integrate the Firewall SDK into your smart contracts FIREWALL_ADMIN role is set as msg.sender- which means it's the same as the wallet or account that was used to deploy your smart contracts.

Changing The Default Configuration

After your smart contracts have been deployed, the FIREWALL_ADMIN can call the setFirewallAdmin(...)followed by a call to acceptFirewallAdmin()to set a new Firewall Admin on your smart contract:

setFirewallAdmin(address _newFirewallAdmin)

acceptFirewallAdmin()

The Firewall Admin must be set per each smart contract using the Venn Firewall
