Is there a way to grant 'Quick Discovery' to a user without having to grant full Discovery Admin access?

[trishlipe]

We would like to grant a few users the ability to use 'Quick Discovery' within Discovery; however, we do not want to grant full Discovery Admin access. Has anyone else needed this type of access? Is this an option?

In Kingston we expose the Discovery API ::

where you could grant a user to run (or have a script run)  "discoverIpAddress()"

Hi,

We are trying to make user to run the discovery just from the Quick Discovery from the Discovery Schedules. I am providing only read access so that they dont edit anything.

Thanks

Any helpful solutions to grant this access?

Hello,

You can add a new condition to the OOTB UI action(Quick Discovery). If users have read access, it should be enough for Quick Discovery. Good way would be create a group and add users who should have ability to process this UI action. gs.getUserID().isMemberOf("Group ID") - would be the best condition for it.

There is the second option: you can customize "Discover now" ui action adding group condition or role. This UI action is available on Configuration Item Form Related Links
