# Labeling the Vulnerabilities

| | | | | |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| **Role Availability** | Read-Only | Investigator | **Analyst** | **Manager** |

USM Anywhere includes a set of labels that you can use to classify your vulnerabilities, to track the status of the vulnerabilities, and to search vulnerabilities using them as a filter. See [Searching Vulnerabilities](https://levelblue-final.mintlify.site/documentation/usm-anywhere/user-guide/vulnerability-assessment/searching-vuln.md) for more information on how to search vulnerabilities.

You can't edit or delete the set of default labels:

* In Progress
* Closed
* Open
* false positives (A condition that is flagged as a vulnerability or weakness that is not actually a concern. This may be caused by other mitigating conditions (such as additional security technology) or inefficient tuning of detection technology.)

USM Anywhere enables you to create, edit, and delete your own labels. You can apply a label to one or more vulnerabilities. You can also apply multiple labels to the same vulnerability (A known issue or weakness in a system, procedure, internal control, software package, or hardware that could be used to compromise security.).

**To label a vulnerability from the vulnerabilities main page**

1. Go to **Environment > Vulnerabilities**.
2. Search for the vulnerability or vulnerabilities to which you want to apply a label. See [Searching Vulnerabilities](https://levelblue-final.mintlify.site/documentation/usm-anywhere/user-guide/vulnerability-assessment/searching-vuln.md) for more information.
3. Do one of these options:

   * Click the ![](https://mintcdn.com/levelblue-final/uEuk8g2TBjXc6sIM/images/usm-anywhere/tag.svg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=uEuk8g2TBjXc6sIM\&q=85\&s=3c6357044dc3e1f53d7694f4992acc85) icon in the labels column of the vulnerability you want to label, select the label, and click **Apply**.
