Network Discovery

How many people can use Network Discovery at once

Network Discovery supports a maximum of 250 accounts.

More than one account can be used at a time. Up to six accounts can view a Network Map simultaneously. Up to 20 accounts can use any part of Network Discovery other than the Network Map simultaneously.

How the types of accounts differ

Each type of account has different permissions. The principal difference between the types of account is the amount of administration permitted.

Demo—limited control, “safe” for demonstration and training

IT Employee—can make some changes that affect what their own account sees

IT Manager—can make changes that affect what other accounts see

Administrator—the most powerful, sets up Network Discovery, sets up more accounts

Scanner—exclusively used to upload scan files from Desktop Inventory.

For a full list of account properties and capabilities, see the Network Discovery User Guide.

Warning: While it is possible to create more than one Administrator account, we recommend you have only one Administrator account. That account should be reserved for use by the Network Discovery Administrator. If you have more than one Administrator account, there is a danger that each Administrator account will overwrite the work of all others.

Creating accounts

To create a usable account, you must add an account, then assign a password.
