CrowdStrike documentation for Store app integrations states that the Falcon Administrator role is required to enable apps and plugins in the CrowdStrike Store, which is the administrative side of connector configuration. That shows connector configuration is a privileged task.
At the same time, Falcon Fusion SOAR is the workflow automation capability used to create SOAR automations in the Falcon platform. CrowdStrike describes Fusion SOAR as the workflow engine used to build and run workflows and automate actions across security processes.
Because the question specifically asks for the role that allows both actions while maintaining least privilege , the most appropriate choice is a custom role that grants only the required permissions instead of assigning a broader built-in administrative role. This is an inference from the documented permission model: connector/plugin setup requires elevated permissions, and SOAR workflow creation is a separate capability, so a narrowly scoped custom role is the least-privilege answer among the options.
Why the other options are not the best answer:
NG SIEM Analyst is intended for analyst activity, not configuration and automation administration. Falcon Security Lead is broader and not the most precise least-privilege answer. NG SIEM Security Lead may have wide SIEM access, but the question asks for the option that best maintains least privilege across both connector configuration and SOAR automation creation; that is better satisfied by a custom role . This conclusion is based on the documented need for elevated permissions for plugin configuration and the separate SOAR workflow capability.
