Edit Target

Targets and Target locations can be edited after they are added to ER2:

• Edit a Target
• Edit a Target Location
• Edit Target Location Path

Edit a Target

Global Admin or System Manager permissions are required to edit a Target.

To edit a Target:

1. Go to the Targets or Investigate page.
2. (Targets page only) Expand the group your Target resides in.
3. Hover over the Target and click on the gear icon.
4. Select Edit Target from the drop-down menu.
   
5. In the Edit Target dialog box, select a tab:

   • Change Group. Change the Target Group the Target is assigned to.

     Changing the Group of a Target to a Group where you do not have at least Scan, Remediate or Report Resource Permissions makes the Target inaccessible. Get a Permissions Manager user to return the Target access rights. See User Permissions.
   • Change OS. Change the Operating System type assigned to the Target. ER2 uses this property to send the correct scan engine to the Node or Proxy Agent host.
   • Change Credentials. Changes:
     • The set of saved credentials used to access the Target. See Target Credentials.
     • The Proxy Agent or Agent Group used.
6. Click Ok.

Edit a Target Location

You can edit locations in a Target that are not Local Storage and Local Memory Targets.

To edit a Target location:

1. Log in to the ER2 Web Console.
2. Go to the Targets page.
3. Click on the right arrow next to a Target Group.
4. In the expanded Target Group list, click on the right arrow next to the Target that contains the Target location.
5. The Target expands to show the list of Targets locations for that Target. Click the gear icon for the Target location.
   
6. In the Change Types dialog box, select a tab:
   • Change Credentials: Change the credential set used to access the Target location.
   • Change Proxy: Change the Proxy Agent or Agent Group used to connect to the Target location.
7. Click Ok.

Edit Target Location Path

To edit a Target location path for an existing scan, you must be scheduling a scan for it. See Add Targets for more information.
