Configure domain-separated Discovery schedules

Configuring the "Run as" user in a Discovery schedule directs discovered Configuration Items (CIs) to the correct domain and maintains data isolation.

Before you begin

Role required: discovery_admin

About this task

In domain-separated environments, the domain of the user who creates a Discovery schedule typically determines where the discovered data is stored. Assigning a "Run as" user enables the discovery process to run under a different user’s domain and permissions, enabling administrators to control which domain stores the data and what resources the discovery process can access, regardless of who created the schedule.

Note:

This procedure applies only to existing Discovery schedules. For information about creating a Discovery schedule, see Schedule a horizontal discovery.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > Discovery > Discovery Schedules.
2. In the Name field, enter the name of the schedule you want to configure.
3. Double-click the Run as field to perform inline editing.
   By default, the Run as column doesn’t display in the Discovery Schedules [discovery_schedule] table. For information about customizing columns in tables, see Personalize a list.
4. Enter the name of the user that you want the schedule to run as.
5. Select the check mark () icon.
