Permissions and User setup
We highly recommend creating a new user tied to an alias or a new email address so that usage can be audited properly, and credentials are not tied to a real user. This is to prevent a user from being removed from Tenable and disrupting your data integration. In Settings -> Access Control -> Permissions, please make sure the user has:- Permissions: Can View
- Objects: All assets
Generate Credentials
Log in to cloud.tenable.comThe keys that are generated have the same permissions as the user who generates them. Please make sure the user has proper permissions to view all relevant vulnerabilities, assets, scan configurations, and user access configurations. We recommend assigning the Admin role scoped to the assets that are needed to avoid permission issues.
