    Recommended Least Privilege User Approach

    To reduce the risk of data loss or privileged account abuse, the Target credentials provided for the intended Target should only be granted read-only access to the exact resources and data that require scanning. Never grant full user access privileges or unrestricted data access to any application if it is not required.

  5. Click Test. If ER2 can connect to the Target, the button changes to a Commit button.
  6. Click Commit to add the Target.

    Path Syntax
    Specific cloud server region <cloud-server-region>
    Specific folder <cloud-server-region/folder>
  4. Click Test and then Commit to save the path to the Target location.
