Hi All,
I want to discover Oracle catalogs for windows and Unix machines. I want to request applicative credential to the Oracle DB team, but I am not sure what permission the discovery user should have to discover DB catalog.
Can somebody share the applicative user privileges/permissions details.
Thanks,
Abby

Hi Abhishek
The ServiceNow Discovery application uses the Oracle Catalog discovery pattern to find Oracle Catalog objects.
If possible start with Sys Admin with read only role else we have to open the above Pattern and tell them commands used for it and Its tricky.
Make sure User has read access for below
