User Privileges and Import/Export

To use the Import/Export action, you must have a role that includes the System Administrator Privileges Import / Export privilege.
Note: If the you have a role with the Import / Export privilege, then top-level objects are available for importing and exporting even though you may not have specific privileges to view the objects (that is, the specific object is hidden to your role).

See Creating a Role for details on roles and privileges.

If you are expected to perform checkpoint operations during an import action, you must have a role that includes Policy Management Privileges with Read-Write access to Policy Checkpoint. See Checkpoint and Importing Objects for more information.
