Hi All,
We are initiating Discovery in our environment and one of the security requirements is to list down what credentials and permissions are required for various technology types. Now i understand a lot of information is available but we will have to gather it, is there any list or link where all this information is mentioned in one place that can be shared with Security team for visibility ?
Thanks

Hi,
I dont' think there is a complete list being maintained somewhere. There are so many different technologies and the documentation is focused on the type of Discovery rather than on credentials as a subject. Here are a couple of links to get you started.
Here is a link for Host Discovery.
For Azure Cloud you need a principal: https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/vancouver-it-operations-management/page/product/cloud-management-...

Niklas

You need to conduct a workshop with the infra people. Try to understand how many devices and what are the classes (windows,linux, snmp etc) ServiceNow docs covers all the basic ones.

Hi Dagar B
Its a big list so you can do it as per Your environment Discovery Needs.
If you see the Service Now List of Creds its a big one.
Make that list and start marking against your environment needs.
